About Us

Orvis has been connected to fishing, field sports and outdoor adventure since 1856, when Charles F. Orvis founded the company in Manchester, Vermont. What began with fly-fishing equipment has grown into a broad outdoor lifestyle brand serving anglers, hunters, travelers, dog owners and people who simply enjoy spending time in nature.

Fly fishing remains at the heart of Orvis. The current assortment includes fly rods, reels, lines, flies, waders, wading boots, fishing jackets, packs, vests, tools and accessories. Collections such as Clearwater, Ultralight and PRO give anglers options for different experience levels and fishing environments.

Beyond fishing, Orvis offers men's and women's outdoor clothing designed for the river, trail, field and everyday life. Shirts, pants, jackets, fleece, vests, sweaters, footwear and accessories combine practical outdoor features with classic styling.

Orvis also maintains a substantial hunting and wingshooting assortment, along with travel products, luggage, home furnishings and gifts. Its dog collection includes beds, collars, harnesses, leashes, toys, treats, travel accessories, bowls and grooming products.

The result is a brand centered on an outdoor lifestyle rather than a single product category. Whether preparing for a day on the river, a weekend in the field, a hiking trip or time at home with a dog, Orvis offers products designed around practical use, outdoor exploration and lasting everyday enjoyment.
