About the Rod Shop:
For all of us at Orvis, the words "Made in America" mean more today than they ever have. What they carry with them is an unwavering promise of quality, backed by over 150 years of sweat, innovation, passion, and pride.
Nowhere is that on display more prominently than in our Manchester, Vermont rod shop, where our fly rods are conceived, constructed, tested, and ultimately perfected. From the state-of-the-art graphite technology used in our Helios 2, Access, and Superfine rods to the time-tested Tonkin-cane construction of our bamboo series, each step in the process involves hard-working American hands and a powerful connection not only to our history, but to each and every rod we build. We have a strong commitment to our craft and to the people with whom we work. If being a member of a group of dedicated craftsmen appeals to you then come join our team! We look forward to meeting you.
