At the Orvis Chesapeake Bay Fly-Fishing School clinics we’ll help you master the basics OR get to the next level. We teach the Orvis Progressive Method of Fly-Casting Instruction and specialize in working with novice anglers and anglers looking to improve their skills. We’ll help you learn the latest fly-casting techniques, explore fly-fishing equipment, and focus on how to “fish” your fly.  We focus on both saltwater and freshwater fishing. Trout on a pristine small stream; steelhead on a magnificent river; striped bass on the bay; or tarpon, permit and bones on the flats- the Orvis school techniques will help to improve your ability to cast, catch and land all of them. Our clinics combine classroom knowledge with hands-on instruction(and video recording in the two-day class) to help guide you. With 1- and 2-day classes covering everything from casting, flies, rods, reels, and other equipment, it’s the perfect opportunity to hone your skills. Our experienced instructors are passionate about passing on their knowledge and helping you become a successful angler.
