ORVIS PARTNER DESIGNATIONS

LODGES provide a singular experience including accommodations, dining, and guided wingshooting. Customers only need to book travel arrangements.

HUNTING GROUNDS are shooting and hunting grounds that offer great cover and the finest guided bird-shooting experience, but are not lodge and accommodation dependent.

OUTFITTERS are services that offer a team or group of guides operating in a given resource or on a given property. Each guide has a high level of expertise conducting hunts within the resource, and each is committed to superior customer service and satisfaction.

A quick-reference guide to our network of Orvis-Endorsed Partners GROUP

GUIDES are independent operators who conduct the hunts personally. Each guide has a high level of expertise in his or her hunting grounds and is committed to superior customer service and satisfaction.

SCHOOLS are based on the English Churchill method. Our instinctive approach to shotgun shooting and wingshooting offers both novices and seasoned veterans a complete shooting system applicable to upland hunting, waterfowl hunting, or sporting clays.

Whether fishing, shooting, or simply enjoying the wonder of nature, explore the world in confidence and comfort, delighting in the best that a destination has to offer on an Orvis Group Trip.

BECAUSE THE UPLANDS TEST MORE THAN YOUR LEAD

FALL’S CRITICAL GEAR LIST, AS RECOMMENDED

BY REID BRYANT—SENIOR MANAGER, ORVIS WINGSHOOTING SERVICES GET YOURS AT ORVIS.COM

My favorite concurrence of time and place occurs in a New England October, when the first hard frosts have come by night, and the hillside trees are nearly bare. It is then that I take up a gun again and go looking in earnest for grouse and woodcock. This pursuit compels me into places that are overlooked for good reason: these are the forgotten fence rows and overgrown orchards, places tangled up and thorny and filled with boot-sucking mud. They are not easy places, but magical ones. To frequent them, a grouse and woodcock hunter requires equal parts fortitude and whimsy, intent, and indifference. He or she also needs the right gear. What is shown is my personal pick for gear, time-tested and duly considered. These are the tools of the trade, the products that work. They’ve seen me through some glorious days, and some regrettable slogs through barren woodlands. They’ve kept me warm, dry, and relatively un-bloodied, though a few battle scars are requisite tokens of any good day afield. I stand behind these products; they’ve made my Octobers a little bit better, which is a feat in itself. It is hard to improve on perfection.

The heart of the roost includes a 9,000-acre expanse that runs directly through Los Chanares’ private property, the most prized dove hunting property in all of Cordoba. Los Chanares’ exclusive access to this roost and unique game management program allows hunters to enjoy high-volume shooting a short distance from the lodge. In addition to this unique shooting experience, Los Chanares offers first-class lodging, luxurious amenities, and incredible service, food, and wine.

POSTA DEL NORTE

Posta del Norte has always been one of the premier dove hunting lodges in Argentina. Perfectly situated between the two most prized dove roosts in Cordoba, it offers superb shooting year-round. The hunting lodge itself is a client favorite, and during the years, has drawn plenty of critical acclaim from industry insiders. In 2010, Posta del Norte joined Los Chanares as a member of the Flyways family of elite Cordoba dove hunting lodges. This catapulted Posta del Norte to even greater heights. Today, Posta del Norte is better than ever, offering high-volume Argentina dove hunting at its very best, luxury lodging, and superior service. Posta del Norte is very exclusive: the lodge can be reserved entirely in private with as few as four clients. This is ideal for families, small groups of friends, and corporate outings.

SIERRA BRAVA

For years, Sierra Brava clients have been enjoying record-setting dove hunting in northern Cordoba. Despite access to the world’s greatest dove hunting roost, clients rave the most about Sierra Brava’s staff. The service, food, wine, and good vibes are as good as it gets. Many industry critics, hunting agencies, and sportswriters will tell you that Sierra Brava receives more five-star client ratings than any other dove hunting lodge in Cordoba—regardless of price.

Dubbed by Forbes FYI Magazine as “The world’s finest bird hunting lodge, period,” Los Ombues Lodge sits above the dazzling Paraná River, and offers world-class hunting on 295,000 acres of marshland and agricultural fields. Unlike other lodges in Argentina, Los Ombues has two different hunting seasons: unparalleled high-volume dove shooting year-round, and the mixed-bag of doves-ducks-perdiz May through August. There is no hunting competition within 50 miles, and Los Ombues guests rarely drive more than a couple minutes to the hunting fields. Return to the lodge between hunts for gourmet chef-prepared lunches and a refreshing nap. 2012 Orvis-Endorsed International Lodge of the Year, Los Ombues offers five-star lodging, legendary cuisine and wines, easy access from Buenos Aires, a private landing strip for quick flights on chartered planes, and an up-to-date collection of over 100 shotguns for rent. First five-star reviewed and first lodge in Argentina to win the Orvis-Endorsed International Lodge of the Year Award (2012).

50 YEARS OF CONNECTING YOU TO THE OUTDOORS... & COUNTING

the Orvis Company held its first Wingshooting School on a farm near Manchester, Vermont. The goal of the school was to provide students with a solid foundation in safe and effective shotgunning that would inspire a lifetime of successful days afield. As an increasing number of students passed through the Orvis School, word spread quickly about the quality of instruction and the welcoming nature of the experience. Today, 50 years and several thousand students later, Orvis continues to offer best-in-class shooting instruction at venues across the US, most notably at the Orvis Shooting Grounds at Sandanona (NY), Hill Country (PA), and Pursell Farms (AL). A growing record of graduates has taken their education to the uplands, wetlands, and clays courses, realizing in the shooting sports a unique vehicle for building lasting connections in the outdoors. Orvis is humbled to have helped facilitate the countless memories that have been made as a result; we can only imagine what the next 50 years will bring.

The Legacy of Orvis Guns will reach a new milestone in 2023, but we are saddened that our friend, longstanding Orvis Gunsmith Jordan Smith will not be there to see the new Gunroom take shape. After 42 years of service at the bench, and two short years of retirement, Jordan passed away in August of 2022. His commitment to both customers and craft are a piece of the legacy that Orvis guns will carry on. He is, and will be, sorely missed.

For more than half a century, Orvis has been the trusted guide for wingshooters across the globe, providing generations of customers with exceptional gear, shooting and hunting instruction, and destination wingshooting travel opportunities. Orvis has also taken great pride in offering a selection of fine shotguns, heirlooms in the making, that can accompany our wingshooting customers on their many days afield.

Orvis Shotguns are functional works of art, and the purchase of a fine shotgun should be an experience in itself. To make that experience as memorable as possible, Orvis has decided to break ground on a Flagship Gunroom at Orvis Sandanona in Millbrook, NY. The new Gunroom will feature a deluxe showroom with 1000-sq. ft. of retail gun space showcasing a curated assortment of new and pre-owned guns. Secure gun storage, dedicated consultation and sales space, and detached gunsmithing facility will accompany. Customers will have the unique opportunity not only to browse a world-class collection of guns, but also to use the Sandanona shooting facility to demo guns for sale or to drop off repair work with our own on-site gunsmith. Essentially, the new Flagship Gunroom at Orvis Sandanona will offer the same best-in-class gun sales and service experience that Orvis has become known for but in grand scale. We anticipate the project to be complete and a ribbon-cutting in Spring 2023.

50 YEARS OF INSTRUCTION

“Teaching our customers to succeed in and enjoy the pursuits of fly fishing and wingshooting is something we take seriously, because we know the result can make their lives that much more enjoyable. The Orvis Schools are held to the same standards as our products and come with our guarantee that you will be not only satisfied, but thrilled with the experience.”

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER

LINCOLN WESTBY

FOUNDER, GUIDE & “PERMIT MASTER,” BLUE HORIZON LODGE, BELIZE

Lincoln Westby began his guiding career in 1971, working for nearly every lodge in Southern Belize and absorbing every bit of knowledge he could. In 1997, he opened Blue Horizon Lodge, with his wife Pearline, a driving force behind the vision for the lodge. Today, at 79 years old, with over 2,000 permit to hand, Lincoln is considered the “permit master” and has gained legendary status in the world of fly fishing. Why permit? Because they are smart and sneaky, requiring excellent fishing skills from the angler and the guide. With unbelievable sight, hearing, smell, and intelligence, this fish can elude even the most seasoned professional.

Still the head guide at Blue Horizon, he loves being on the water and helping guests catch permit. Few other guides have been able to retain their passion for fishing for as long as he has. You won’t hear him complaining about anything… because he plain loves it. He has led seminars and lectures about fishing for permit and conserving their habitat in Belize and has trained dozens of the top guides in Belize.

Lincoln is now focusing on his legacy and is passing on his knowledge to the next generation of fishing guides through the Junior Guide program at Blue Horizon Lodge. In addition to the photos of proud guests with permit caught, and the satisfaction of building a successful business, the impact of the Junior Guide program can live on forever.

With over 2,000 permit in hand, Lincoln Westby is a fly-fishing legend.

2022 ORVISENDORSED WINNERS

We are honored to present the Winners of the 2022 Orvis-Endorsed Awards. Each recipient, as chosen by you, embodies a pioneering spirit, a commitment to excellence, and an enduring passion to share the beauty and awe of our natural world.

NORTHWEST OUTFITTERS Idaho

“Best fly shop in the area, and we have a few around here. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Shop is clean, organized and everything is priced right. It’s not one of those shops that you go in and look, then order off amazon for a better price. Their guides are professional, patient, knowledgeable and will try their hardest to get you into fish. They are the only Orvis-licensed dealer in the area, but they are not an Orvisowned store. Northwest Outfitters is a locally owned small business that sells Orvis products alongside other popular and well-known brands. Trust me on this. Go in, pet the dog, say hi and pick up a few things while you’re there. You will be glad that you did. A++”

BRYAN DONOWAY Maryland

“Thoroughly enjoyed my first fly-fishing experience. Been fishing my whole life, but never fly fishing. It was something I always was interested in, but thought it looked too difficult. Bryan answered all of my many questions and never complained about fixing my tree-snagged line over and over. HAHA! Bryan was versed in everything about the Gunpowder Falls waterway we were fishing in, right down to every bug around! You could tell he loves the water and teaching others about its wonder.”

WILLOWFLY ANGLERS Colorado

“Honestly, since I had never fly fished before, to say I was a little anxious and intimidated would be an understatement! However, after our guide got us loaded up and on our way, my anxiety soon turned to pure enjoyment! Their professionalism, kind words of encouragement, and downright great attitude made my first day of fly fishing an unforgettable memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’m hooked!”

FLY-FISHING GUIDE OF THE YEAR

20 FLY SHOP OF THE YEAR

“My family had an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives! Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to make sure the details of your stay are taken care of quickly and with a smile. The fishing was great, but it’s the staff that will keep me coming back. The lodge staff goes out of their way to ensure non-angling guests have a great time and receive the same amazing customer service as the angling clients. Don’t be afraid to bring your non-angling spouse or friends; they will enjoy every moment!”

GREYSTONE CASTLE SPORTING CLUB Texas

“The staff is courteous and no request is ignored, too big, or too small. The food is exceptional. The facilities are clean, up-to-date, and well-appointed. Hunting is some of the best in the industry. Abundant hard-flying birds over beautiful and forgiving terrain. Most importantly, the dog work and the knowledge and conduct of the handlers are simply unrivaled. Do not miss out on an opportunity to relax and hunt at Greystone!”

Alaska

“This was my first time going to Alaska and first time fly fishing. I was absolutely amazed by the facilities and what they offered. I can’t even begin to comment on the staff—they were simply AMAZING! They do everything humanly possible to ensure you have an incredible experience. I can’t wait to go back.”

BROWN Arizona

“I spent a couple days with Dave and his guys in mid-December chasing quail. As Dave let me know, Mearns were a little spotty this year, however, I was able to cross off a ‘bucket list’ bird. Great dude, great dog work. Mearns country is beautiful, which made the trip worth it in itself. Another day we set out for Gambel’s and scaled quail. It’s obvious that Dave and his guys put in the time scouting and know how to find coveys. It’s apparent that their dogs work a lot of birds.”

THE ORVIS TEAM TRAVELS DEEP INTO THE FLORIDA BACKCOUNTRY TO WITNESS

FIRSTHAND THE INDUSTRIALIZED AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND WATER DIVERSION ISSUES HARMING THE EVERGLADES —AND HOW WE ALL CAN HELP.

The friendship between Orvis President Simon Perkins and Captains for Clean Waterʼs (CFCW) Captain Benny Blanco goes back. Way back. So, when Benny told Simon about the dire water flow issues our Everglades faced, Simon did what any good friend would do: He grabbed a few other concerned folks and pointed the truck tires south. Alongside scientists, guides, and CFCW and Everglades Foundation representatives, the crew fly fish their way from Single Creek in Orlando clear out to Florida Bay. Between casts, they visit a myriad of humanmade problems facing the ʼGlades ecosystem and discover a notable positive: Concerned Floridians arenʼt just complaining about these issues. Theyʼve got a comprehensive plan to address and solve them. And itʼs working.

Scan the code to watch how a collective of scientists, guides, and advocates are working to save the Everglades—and learn how you can support them—in the Orvis-exclusive film Follow the Water.

BY CARRY-IT-ALL CREATOR & FORMER ORVIS CEO PERK PERKINS GET YOURS AT ORVIS.COM

Early evening in a Salt Lake City airport bar, waiting out a layover inbound for the Bahamas. Must have been 2009. I can’t bear the thought of arriving at a long-anticipated destination and my gear not arriving too, so I’m looking down at three carry-ons. One for rods. One for reels, a jacket, and more bonefish flies, leaders, and tippet than I’d probably need. A third backpack carried that laptop I couldn’t seem to get away from in those days—all while knowing full well I’m only allowed two pieces of carry-on luggage. Had to be a way to consolidate a trip’s worth of tackle into a single convenient unit, so I finished my Mount Gay and started scribbling on a bar napkin. Six marked-up SLC bar napkins later, the idea for our industry-original Orvis Carry-It-All was born. I keep two loaded at all times, one for graband-go freshwater trips and one for the salt. I still haven’t managed to ditch the laptop, though it’s used more for checking tides and weather patterns now. And in spite of retirement, they still remember my name at the Help Desk.”

Now retired, it’s anyone’s guess where Perk’s headed next. All we know for sure is the Carry-It-All is along for the ride, too.

DORADOS ON THE FLY ARGENTINA

800-547-4322 doradosonthefly.com

Pinti’s lodge is situated on a lush bluff overlooking the upper Parana River in the sub-tropical province of Corrientes, Argentina.

Anglers can also expect to fish shoreline and mid-river structure that promises to produce dorado up to about 25 pounds, with most in the 5 to 10 pounds range. Though dorado are the main prize, exceptional fishing for pira pita and pacu is available, and these species are often targeted on dry flies. Pinti’s team is comprised of the finest warmwater fly guides in Argentina, and they are certain to provide an experience that won’t be forgotten.
