Welcome to a basic version of the Orvis Information Friday Fly-Fishing Movie Competition, wherein we scour the Net for the perfect fly-fishing movies accessible. This week, we’ve received 13 fantastic movies, with a critical salmonid skew. There’s a little bit of salt- and warmwater, but it surely’s largely all in regards to the trout, steelhead, and salmon, and we function locations from California to Wisconsin and from Sweden to Bolivia.
For greatest outcomes, watch all movies at full-screen and in excessive definition. Keep in mind, we surf so that you don’t should. However if you happen to do come across one thing nice that you simply suppose is worthy of inclusion in a future F5, please submit it within the feedback under, and we’ll have a look.
We kick issues off with a gorgeous brief edit from Sweden(?) about chasing browns in quick water on a small stream. The sound design on this movie provides so much to the expertise.
I do love a killer video that’s additionally brief and candy. Right here, British Columbia steelhead fanatic Paula Sheerer explains how “It’s not in regards to the fish.”
The title of this video provides nothing away, and there’s no description. However the footage is improbable, and I’m fairly certain it’s Kiritimati, a.ok.a. Christmas Island, or elsewhere within the Republic of Kiribati.
A tributary of the San Gabriel River in Texas, Brushy Creek gives some nice warmwater motion, which is on show right here.
California fly fishing positively doesn’t get sufficient love within the video world, however this have a look at the Higher and Decrease Sacramento means that it ought to.
Montana’s Bitterroot River includes a springtime Skwala hatch that attracts anglers from across the area. Right here’s some enjoyable drone footage from Jessica Haydahl.
These anglers headed to Vancouver Island final fall with little information in regards to the fishery, but it surely appears to be like like they figured it out! I hope that’s a refined “That is Spinal Faucet” reference within the opening monologue.
Who wouldn’t need to get pleasure from a foggy, quiet morning on the Inexperienced River in Jap Utah? There are some very nice trout in right here.
From the CZech Republic comes this candy shortie about chasing native brown trout on a small river.
Fishing the small streams of Wisconsin’s Driftless Space requires some stealth and talent.
Our buddy Bob Reece put collectively this cool edit about Platte Rivers Veterans Fly Fishing, which gives primary fly fishing, fly casting, fly tying and rod constructing lessons for veterans in jap Wyoming and Colorado.
This has nothing to do with fly fishing, however it’s so fascinating and thrilling that I needed to embrace it right here.
Lastly, right here’s the complete 12-minute “Jungle Angler” from Beattie Productions, which follows a bunch of fly fishers chasing golden dorado within the Bolivian jungle. Nice stuff!
