Orvis Fly Fishing

Why We Carry Orvis at Northwest Fly Fishing Outfitters
Orvis has been in the fly fishing business longer than just about anyone, and they’ve earned their reputation the hard way — by consistently building gear that performs on the water and standing behind it with one of the best warranties in the industry. We carry Orvis because they offer something for every angler who walks through our door, from someone picking up a fly rod for the first time to a seasoned guide looking for a technical tool they can trust on demanding water. Their lineup is thoughtfully designed, their construction is genuinely durable, and their 25-year warranty is the kind of commitment that tells you everything you need to know about how they feel about their products.
Orvis Fly Rods
Orvis fly rods cover the full spectrum from entry-level to elite, and every series has a clear purpose. Lightweight, accurate, and built to last — here’s how the lineup breaks down:
Orvis Helios Fly Rods
The Helios is Orvis’s flagship series and one of the finest fly rods available anywhere. The latest H4 generation pushes accuracy and strength to new levels, with an incredibly low swing weight that reduces fatigue on long days. When precision matters most, the Helios delivers.
Orvis Recon Fly Rods
The Recon sits in the sweet spot of Orvis’s lineup — a high-performance rod at a mid-range price that punches well above its weight. Lightweight, versatile, and capable in a wide range of fishing situations, the Recon is one of the most popular rods we sell and a favorite among anglers who want serious performance without the flagship price tag.
Orvis Clearwater Fly Rods
The Clearwater is our go-to recommendation for beginners and anglers looking for a capable, affordable first rod. It offers features you’d expect from a more expensive rod — smooth action, solid construction, and that same 25-year Orvis warranty — at a price that makes it easy to get started.
Orvis Superfine Fly Rods
The Superfine is built for anglers who love small streams and delicate presentations. Its classic moderate-to-slow action loads beautifully at short distances and delivers the kind of soft, precise presentations that technical dry fly fishing demands. A rod with real character for anglers who appreciate it.
Orvis Fly Reels
Orvis fly reels are built to match the performance of their rod lineup — smooth drag systems, durable construction, and clean aesthetics that hold up on the water. With drag systems including click & pawl, fully sealed, and open/semi-sealed, you can be sure you will find the right reel at the right price for the species you are looking to chase.
Orvis Fly Waders & Wading Gear
Orvis waders are designed for anglers who spend serious time on the water. Breathable, durable, and thoughtfully featured for PNW conditions. Options like the Orvis Pro Series are built with Cordura fabric and all of the features in a wader that you would expect from a top-level brand.
Orvis Fly Fishing Packs & Bags
Orvis packs and bags are designed with the fly angler in mind — thoughtful organization, durable materials, and features that make a day on the water more efficient. From sling packs for quick access to full-day backpacks built for remote water, Orvis has a pack for how you fish.
Orvis has the full array of packs and bags, including slings, backpacks, roll top backpacks, hip packs, chest packs, boat bags, and wader totes. From 100% waterproof packs to reliable Cordura gear, we’ve got the solutions to whatever your packing needs may be.
Orvis Fly Fishing Nets
Orvis landing nets combine beautiful craftsmanship with fish-friendly rubber mesh — a staple in any serious angler’s kit.
