Orvis Learning Center

"Phil Monahan posted about this today.  I've started watching the videos, and am impressed.  They're informative and hardly intimidating.  Thought you guys might like them!"

My brother sent me an e-mail last week notifying me of this great video resource.  I hope you enjoy this resource and with the water levels being up around Central Pennsylvania it'd be a good time to tie some flies and watch excellent video.  You'd most likely be able to catch fish but if you aren't headed to the stream it's worth a view!  


Listed below is what Orvis has posted on their website:


"For better or worse, videos are the way many of us learn these days. Of course, there are plenty of fly-fishing videos on YouTube, but they are of uneven quality and may not be reliable tools for learning. Now there's something better.

The new interactive Orvis Learning Center is a video-based resource that’s free to anyone and available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, to answer your fly-fishing questions.

The meat of the Learning Center is the video lessons, hosted by me and Pete Kutzer. Eventually, there will be 13 different chapters available (the first 7 are up now), each containing about 24 minutes of video, and the chapters include:"

1. The Basics of Fly Fishing
2. Fly Rod Bass Fishing
3. Fly Fishing for Pike
4. Basic Stream Skills
5. Wet Flies and Nymphs
6. Dry Flies
7. Streamers
8. Reading the Water
9. Stillwater Trout Fishing
10. Steelhead and Salmon Fishing
11. All About Flies and How to Match Prey
12. Inshore Saltwater Fly Fishing
13. Offshore and Near-Shore Saltwater Fly Fishing.
