Classic Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 02.18.22

Editor’s Note: I’m out of the office today, so here’s a great collection of videos from a few years back. Have a great weekend!

Welcome to the another edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Each week, we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available and then serve them up for you to enjoy. This week, we’ve got a cools dozen videos shot mostly in the U.S. and Australia, strangely enough. From the remote beaches of the York Peninsula to the chilly trout rivers of the Upper Peninsula, there’s plenty to keep the fly-fishing fires in your mind well stoked.

For best results, watch all videos at full-screen and in high definition. Remember, we surf so you don’t have to. But if you do stumble upon something great that you think is worthy of inclusion in a future F5, please post it in the comments below, and we’ll take a look.

  1. On the film brotherhood. Good for you guys. Through your lives you will always have these memories and hopefully you will have many more fishing trips. Great film. Really enjoyed you two. Good luck and tight lines.

  2. After watching fishing videos for years I have to make a few comments on improving them.

    Keep footage of driving to a minimum. I know the videographer wants to tell a story but it could be just as effective by limiting the drive. I’ve seen videos that were 6-7 minutes long and the driving was 2 minutes.

    Keep the fast edits to a minimum. I believe when people watch a video they want to see something. Multiple fast edits over and over again are just flashes that the mind tries to comprehend. The most enjoyable videos have the last amount of fast edits.

    1. I agree with the driving bit, but different folks like different edits. Some like fast-paced edits others like yourself like slower-paced edits. I personally like both and would get bored if only one style persisted.

    2. I agree with John, 150%. I know how to drive and if I have to watch driving, it has to be over-the-top special. There’s more excitement watching my wife trying to parallel park. As for fast edits, you can’t enjoy the film when it is cut this way. Good comment John.

  3. I decided to order an essay in http://www.writemypaper.help/ First, the expert and I determined the audience for which the text is intended, then we chose the style, vocabulary and methods of constructing the essay. The result is the most detailed and high-quality essay. Thank you for your consultation. Everything was done promptly and at the level
