Orvis | Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania Fly Fishing School

Situated in the rolling hills of southern Pennsylvania in the town of Blue Ridge Summit, Orvis Hill Country encompasses more than 500 acres devoted to fly fishing, sporting clays and wingshooting pursuits. Orvis Hill Country is only 1.5 hours from the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

Instruction is geared toward beginners, but students of all levels are welcome and encouraged to progress at their own rate. Our teaching methods allow us to handle all levels of experience and abilities. Indoor and outdoor sessions are evenly divided, with the main emphasis placed on developing and perfecting fly-casting skills. Our goal is to have the students exit the program with the ability to handle 30-foot plus casts effectively, understand casting and fishing techniques when fishing on a steam or in a boat, have a good understanding of fly selection, leaders, knot tying skills, and the application/use of related gear and equipment for saltwater and freshwater fishing. We also encourage an appreciation for fine tackle and emphasize the importance of the catch and release ethic, a clean healthy outdoor environment, and continued pursuit of quality fly fishing experiences through the promotion of our Orvis-Endorsed Lodge Outfitter and Guide Services.
