MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE Montana Angler Fly Fishing’s knowledgeable & passionate guides will help you get the most out of your time on the water.

Conservationist Brian Kraft’s Alaska Sportman’s Lodge is at the heart of the world’s most productive wild salmon run.

PASSION FOR TEACHING:

COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION:

“ Our guides were talented, patient, enthusiastic; taking the time to teach my son and I the basics of fly fishing in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.”

When the proposed Pebble Mine threatened the world’s largest salmon fishery in Bristol Bay, Alaska, Orvis-Endorsed Lodge owner Brian Kraft didn’t hesitate to act. Founder of the Bristol Bay Alliance, Brian brought together bi-partisan stakeholders to tirelessly educate the world about the mine’s perils to the community, outdoor recreation industry, and the ecosystem. After decades of campaigning from his local community to Capitol Hill, the EPA finally enshrined protections for Bristol Bay. As Alaska Director for Trout Unlimited Nelli Williams notes, “It’s because of community leaders like Brian that Bristol Bay will remain fish-filled and wild … a place future generations can depend on to connect with their culture and to support their families.”

BUILT TO WADE WHERE OTHERS WONʼT

Next-level agility and flexibility. Built on reputation of our original PRO Waders— widely known as the most durable ever—we’re back with a PRO LT version and perfectly matched boots to complete the PRO-caliber system that puts movement and speed at a premium. Employing the same, proven CORDURA® fabric that quickly put the PRO Waders on the map and nearly made our warranty claim department grind to a halt, we’ve taken hours of input from some of the industry’s most trusted guides and veteran anglers to create what stands to become the most durable, yet nimble, system built specifically to move you.

NATALIE CULLUM PRODUCT DESIGNER

“ Think of PRO vs PRO LT in terms of trucks; Tundra vs. Tacoma. Like a Tacoma, the New PRO LT Waders are more than capable, but a little less beefy. Senior Product Developer Jesse Haller used the same philosophy on the new PRO LT Wading Boots. All the traction and support, yet slightly less bulk to round out the lightweight, PRO-grade wading system our guides have been requesting.”

Not your average camp, not your average trip. A journey to Mongolia is more than a fishing destination, it’s good for the soul.

JEREMY KEHREIN

TRAVEL SALES MANAGER & LIFELONG GLOBETROTTER ORVIS ADVENTURES “ I always look forward to our time on the water, but for me a trip to Mongolia is also about the locals who welcome us into their yurts, the horseback-herders showing off their riding skills, and learning Taimen fishing tactics with local guides. FISHING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE TRIP, BUT THE EXPERIENCE IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE.”

CHIEF CASTING INSTRUCTOR & LIFELONG FLY-FISHING EVANGELIST, ORVIS SCHOOLS “ IN FLY FISHING, YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING—IT’S A SPORT THAT WILL LAST YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. That makes it all the more special to teach families. Once you get youngsters casting alongside their parents, it becomes something they’ll share forever. I tell them ‘when I was your age my mom and dad took me fishing, then when I got older I took THEM fishing!’”

PAULA MOORE

CHIEF SHOOTING INSTRUCTOR & NSCA LEVEL 3 INSTRUCTOR, ORVIS SANDANONA “ MY MESSAGE IS SIMPLE: THIS IS A SPORT, AND IT’S FUN! As an instructor, I tailor each lesson to the individual to meet their goals and skill level—you have to first learn a little about each person to understand what’s going to work best for them. While it’s exciting to see their success in the field, nothing means more to me to have someone leave a lesson saying, ‘This is cool!’”

BEST OF THE BEST

These award-winning individuals and operations exemplify the remarkable network of outdoor leaders within the OrvisEndorsed family. Each recipient embodies a pioneering spirit, a commitment to excellence, and an enduring passion to share the beauty and awe of our natural world. We consider them our partners in sharing the adventure and wonder of the outdoors. They were chosen by you—the ultimate recommendation. With great pleasure, we present our 2023 Orvis-Endorsed Winners.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER THOMAS E. BALTZ

FLY-FISHING GUIDE, AUTHOR & CONSERVATION LEADER A multi-award-winning guide, author, and conservationist, Thomas Baltz was a contributing instructor in one of the first US Fly-Fishing Schools (Letort Limited Fly-Fishing School) in the 1970s and has spent his career ensuring his love of the sport rubbed off on each of his students, as evidenced by their glowing reviews. Over the years, Tom has pioneered four patterns that were adopted and sold by Orvis (thank Tom the next time you tie on an ICSI Midge, Paranymph, Mudbugger, or Hatching Nymph). Tom has enjoyed a distinguished history of involvement with the Cumberland Valley Trout Unlimited chapter, serving as a board member, president, and active leader in conservation projects throughout the region.

We are very excited to add the 2023 Orvis Lifetime Achievement Award to Thomas’ long list of accolades and accomplishments.

THE

IDEA FACTORY

Drive 45 minutes east from our Rod Shop in Manchester, Vermont and you'll now find a new, dedicated, beyond-state-of-the-art facility created through a partnership to build everything from our award-winning Mirage® and C.F.O.® reels to Orvis tools like pliers, nippers, and more.

With an even greater capability to turn bulk aluminum barstock into exceptionally smooth, patented reels and functional gear, each piece of gear produced is designed, developed, machined, and anodized by true craftsmen and women here in America.

Not only does a commitment this substantial contribute to the local economy and provide fantastic opportunities in a rural corner of our country, the partnership's allowed our team to let their minds conceptually wander and push innovations like our patented drag systems even further.

LARGE ARBOR STOPPING POWER, 4 COLOR OPTIONS AND PROOF THAT MORE IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN LESS.

Refinement and improvement are the hallmarks of quality. The new Orvis Hydros® Reel is the result of our own desire to make something great, that much better. We took a best-selling reel and further reduced the weight. We changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible. We further refined the seal on the sealed carbon drag. We radiused the reel foot for kink-free leader protection. Powerful drag with zero start-up inertia. The Hydros is now a standard large arbor and yet still offers excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling. Imported.
