LONG OUTFITTING

Traveling to a fishing destination can be challenging these days. The space in your bags can be at a premium. The following is a list of important fishing equipment that we suggest you bring with you. If you need to rent items like fly rod outfits or waders, they are available upon request.

And if you want to test out a brand new Orvis rod outfit, let us know and we will make sure that your guide has one in their boat. Check out the list and feel free to call us if you have questions. If you are a beginner to the sport of fly fishing, feel free to just show up and your guide will have the equipment you need for your guide day.
