Chicago Illinois Store Manager: Tony Mort
Tony joined Orvis in 2004 at the Chicago store location where he distinguished himself with his dedication to providing superior customer service. His exceptional three-year tenure at the Chicago store provided him with a strong foundation to become the manager of the Madison store in August 2007, and to transfer to becoming the manager of the Yorktown Center store in November 2008. In his free time he enjoys fly fishing in Wisconsin, bow hunting on his family farm and playing guitar.
Chicago, Illinois Fishing Manager: Lee Robinson
Lee grew up fishing and skiing in the mountains of Northern Colorado. Through his youth Lee fished with his grandfather in the Rocky Mountain West, and in college became a winter tail water addict. Since then Lee has fished all over North America, as well as in South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. Before working for Orvis, Lee spent 6 months touring the American and Canadian West, fishing and sleeping out of his truck.
Lee now calls Chicago home, and enjoys trout fishing in Southwest Wisconsin and steelhead fishing throughout the Midwest. Lee is pictured below (on right) netting a nice fall run Coho Salmon for a student during one of our popular steelhead schools. For information about our schools, please give Lee a call here at the store!
