Welcome to the latest edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival of 2022. Each week, we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available. This week, we’ve got a baker’s dozen productions that run the gamut from the exotic to the homegrown and from from high-end to amateurish. But all are focused on the joy of throwing fur and feathers in hopes of connecting to a fish–whether it’s a six-foot arapaima or a six-inch brook trout.
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.
