fishing rods are made by hand, and Orvis’ retail store.
The folks at Orvis describe fly fishing as a pastime for everybody, one which they take great pleasure in sharing with their students.
“ It doesn’ t require much strength at all. It’ s more muscle memory and learning process. Fly rods today are so good that it requires very little physical strength for most fly fishing,” Rosenbauer said, though he notes that sometimes getting to a remote stream or pond requires some strength to simply get there.
Peter Kutzer says the best part of fly fishing is simply connecting with nature.
“ Fly fishing is something that helps your quality of life. It helps you to disconnect from all the hustle and bustle of what’ s going on. It helps you enjoy some time outside,” Kutzer said. n
