Welcome the latest edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival, in which we feature the best videos from around the world. Since yesterday was Christmas, we stayed off the Internet and celebrated with family, but we didn’t want to leave you video junkies hanging. So here’s a day-late F5, featuring a 13 videos to keep the holiday cheer flowing.
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.
And don’t forget to check out the awesome all-new, improved Orvis fly-fishing video theater: The Tug. As of today, there are more than 1,000 great videos on the site!
See you next week with a fresh set of films!
We kick things off with a compilation from our friends north of the border at Hooké. It’s full of great fish, killer scenery
Get a load of this tribute to the mesmerizing, elegant, elusive and sometimes down right frustrating brown trout.
Short, sweet, and full of beautiful fish.
Our only bit of salt in this week’s festival come courtesy of Spooled Reels. It starts with about 40 seconds of cuteness and then gets into some sweet, slo-mo redfish action.
Here’s a gorgeous video from Columbus Leth focuses on the chinooks and steelhead of British Columbia.
From the backcountry to the urban landscape, where these Scandinavian anglers search for winter trout.
The backcountry of New Zealand provides the scenery and the trout we’ve come to expect from Kiwiland.
This is not the kind of water you expect to see in a video about pike fishing, and it looks like a very cool canoe adventure.
Angler Natalie Franceva finds some fish in this lovely video from Vancouver Island.
Summer in British Columbia feels like a long way away, so here are some memories from 2015.
Troutboynz is back with another great adventure from his native New Zealand, featuring breathtaking surroundings and a large variety of fish sizes and coloration.
Sometimes it’s fun to see your actual fishing experiences reflected in a video. I think we’ve all been there. . . .
The Provo Brothers are back with a second edition of their “Steelhead and Spines” series, combining incredible backcountry skiing and riding with casting for steelhead in the coastal rivers of Alaska.
In the Scandinavian Urban fly-fishing vid, one of those fellas spat in their buddy’s coffee, which I was not cool with. Otherwise, awesome content again!
Dear John,
You must mistake us with some one else… We would never spit in each other’s coffee? =)
Thanks for the surprise birthday present. You guys never fail with the superb video collection that keeps me entertained through the week. Weekends are reserved for fishing of course.
