So my parents got this school for me like 10 years ago and for a variety of reasons it took me 10 years to get to it - wow! Even though in the interim I'd gotten a lot better at fly casting I still learned a ton, and they let you advance at your own pace so it was fine... More

I took my husband here for his birthday. (surprise) He is an angler, I am not. I would say that we both loved both the 1 hour casting lesson and the 4-hour guided day that we booked with Equinox. Both instructors were wonderful and were able to balance Jeff's ability with my inability. I would recommend it to anyone. The... More

The first of it's kind in the USA. Orvis used to be a fly fishing only store in Manchester, their claim to fame was split bamboo rods. When I was a kid, I'd have rods custom made for around $80.

We had 3 different instructors over 2 days, but all were excellent. The didactic sessions are useful, but the best part is the personalized attention during practice sessions at their casting...

My husband and I attended the Orvis two day fly-fishing school. I did this to be nice, but ended up loving the fly-fishing. We had a group of 11 (they do maximum of 24) with a mix of men and women.

Our instructor Peter was nothing less than perfect - patient, funny, and smart. One morning was not enough, but I am definitely going to make this (fly fishing) part of future vacations.

Took the Orvis Fly Fishing course years ago and lessons learned have stood the test of time. This is a complete package for people learning the craft of fly fishing.

Safe and informative class. Instructors are serious about fly fishing but make it fun to learn.

I'm a pretty good fly caster but was able to learn a few new techniques. My wife is a beginner and learned alot from the VERY helpful instructor. A little expensive but worth it for the personal attention.
