Orvis takes pride in being an innovator in the history of fly fishing, going back to the early days of the sport. In 1874, Charles Orvis developed his new fly reel, and the rest, as we say, is American fishing tackle history. In its combination of shape, ventilation, and position, the Orvis reel of 1874 was truly the forefather of most modern fly reels.

Today, we continue that tradition by offering you the finest fly fishing reels on the market. Together with our extensive collection of rods, from the T3 Series to the Bamboo Series; waders; fishing lines; and accessories, we are committed to providing you with the best equipment available.

For over 100 years, Orvis has offered the strongest return policy in the business. We want your experience, whether buying fly fishing reels, fishing apparel, choosing rugged outdoor wear, or attending fly fishing school, to surpass your expectations.
