Welcome to another edition of the OrvisNews.com Friday Film Festival, in which we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing footage available. This week’s collection is pretty dang salty, with great fly-fishing action of giant-trevally, tarpon, bonefish, and permit anglers. The trevally scenes will blow your mind because of the way the fish seem to explode on the fly, often right at the angler’s feet. Those who prefer their bones golden will find. . .

Welcome to another edition of the OrvisNews.com Friday Film Festival, in which we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing footage available. This week’s collection is very “tarpony,” for all you saltwater lovers out there. But we’ve also got some killer trout-fishing films, too, with all but one from North America. After such heavy doeses of Europe in recent months, this seems like Old Home Day. Sure, we start off with some Slovenian beauty footage, but after that, . . .

Welcome to another installment of “Ask an Orvis Fly-Fishing Instructor,” with me, Peter Kutzer. In this episode, I demonstrate how to make a tuck cast, which allows you to get your nymphs to the bottom quickly by causing them to hit the water before your fly line does. Tuck casts are great for when you’re fishing nymphs upstream to the head of a pool and you want them to get to the bottom fast so they don’t drift over the heads of your target fish. Because the flies land first, they break right through the surface and head for the. . .

Welcome to another edition of the OrvisNews.com Friday Film Festival, in which we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing footage available. This week’s collection is very U.S-centric, but there are lots of great fish and fine filmmaking. I’m still a bit curious about where all the great New Zealand footage is from 2012. C’mon, Kiwis, get on the ball. Isn’t it. . .

Welcome to another Friday the 13th edition of the Friday Film
Festival. (Watch out for that guy on the marquee; he looks like a bait dunker.) My intros are short because I’m out in Missoula, Montana, at the
Orvis Western Guide Rendezvous with a couple hundred of my best fishing
buddies. So enjoy this week’s selection. 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 FFF, please post it in the comments below. See you
next week with a fresh set of films!
