Small stream fly fishing from rummutt on Vimeo.
Editor’s Note: With all the hullabaloo up here in O-town this week, I’m running a bit behind on the F5. But I didn’t want to leave those lunchtime watchers hanging, so here’s a short classic Friday Film festival to Tide you over. There will be a new F5 later this afternoon.
Our first film comes from Romania and features some great footage of small-stream fishing. The trout themselves are spectacular—not large, but with amazing red spots, even on their fins.

This is kind of a fly-fishing film noir—very dark and mysterious—from Sweden. Its artsy nature does nothing to dampen the thrill of seeing huge brown trout take flies off the surface.
Finally, this is a fun one in which a first-time fly fisherman catches a bonefish in Mexico. The kibitzing of his buddy behind the camera and the help of the guide make it all possible.
