Orvis
America's oldest fly fishing outfitter.
About Orvis
Founded in 1856 in Manchester, Vermont, Orvis is the oldest continuously operating mail-order retailer in the United States and one of the most recognizable names in fly fishing. The company sells rods, reels, waders, apparel, and travel across an extensive retail and ecommerce network, and operates the Orvis Fly Fishing Schools at locations nationwide.
Orvis is privately held and family owned. The brand's conservation arm supports wild-trout, cold-water, and coastal habitat initiatives, and a portion of pre-tax profits is directed to conservation and community programs each year.
