Yes, but it’s easier with help. Many lifelong anglers got started with the Fly Fishing 101 videos and resources in our Fly Fishing Learning Center. Still, there is no substitute for learning under the eye of an expert. You’ll find Orvis fly-fishing schools in 20 states, including at our flagship in Manchester, Vermont.
You can learn the basics of fly fishing in a few hours, a day, or over several months. But learning to fly fish is the pursuit of a lifetime—one we highly recommend.
Yes, beginners can fly fish. With the right teacher—like the ones leading our fly-fishing schools—anyone can get started.
A day should be plenty of time to learn the basics of fly fishing, especially with a good teacher. If you’re trying to learn on your own, it may take longer to pick up the fundamentals.
The great thing about fly fishing is that any age is the best age. If you’re considering introducing your kids to fly fishing, we usually suggest starting around six to eight years old. Some are ready sooner, and others may prefer starting with a spinning rod first.
Our outdoor fly fishing schools put you where the learning’s best—right on the water, with expert teachers who know how to make it fun. Spend four nights in Montana learning to cast for rainbows and browns in some of the most legendary trout waters in America. Or head to The Bahamas for a week of bonefishing the Marls with a seasoned guide. Whether you’re brand new to fly fishing or leveling up, these adventure schools teach you to cast, read the water, and tie and choose flies—skills you can use at home or on your next Orvis fly fishing trip. Our schools are offered across the U.S., and in places like the Caribbean and Belize. Find your school, then book your trip. It’s that easy.
