The Orvis Company
Great fly rods, reels and lines. PLUS, all the gear and apparel you might need.
Orvis was founded 168 years ago in Manchester, Vermont, offering superior fly-fishing equipment and renowned customer satisfaction and service.
The Orvis Brand Promise. We live to develop and share our equipment, apparel, and expertise to outfit deeper connections and authentic experiences in the outdoors for a more inspired life.
The fly-fishing schools were started in 1966 and have helped thousands of anglers fall in love with the ever-challenging sport of fly-fishing.
Our schools in Maryland and Va Beach VA. are proud to join the Orvis family and help carry on their traditions. At the Orvis Chesapeake Bay Fly-Fishing School, we’ll help a beginner master the basics or an experienced fly caster get to the next level.

Store Manager: Art Noglak
Art began his Orvis career as a men’s lead in the Cleveland store in 2013. Since that time, he has served as the Fishing Manager in Pittsburgh and Tysons Corner, and most recently became the Arlington Store Manager in July 2018. When he’s not in the store, you can find Art on the river, cooking, and spending time with his wife, Bunny. A fly-fisherman since the age of 12, Art’s favorite fisheries are the Potomac and the lower Savage. In addition to educated trout and any species to which he can sight fish, Art loves targeting fish that other people find “repulsive."
Fishing Manager: Ryan McCarron
A native of Virginia, Ryan first began fishing off the coast of Tybee Island, Georgia right after graduating with a BFA in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. It was during this time he discovered his passion for the sport. After moving back to Northern Virginia in 2009, he began fishing for big catfish in the Potomac River.
A natural born teacher, Ryan now enjoys teaching fly tying and fly fishing to beginners, as well as guiding fishermen to some of his favorite locations. He previously served as an instructor for youth camp Fish and Explore in Fairfax County from 2009 – 2014, where he taught youths aged 7 – 15 to fish for bass. In his spare time, Ryan can be found fishing for bass and trout all around Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. He also regularly fishes for trout along the South Holston River in Tennessee.

Store Manager: Jimmy Aliff
*A lifelong hunter and avid angler, Jimmy Aliff is the quintessential outdoorsman. This Charlotte, North Carolina, native, and Orvis Associate since 2007, grew up chasing big game, upland birds, and rabbits, and has been swinging flies since 1998. His angling adventures have taken him up out west to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and up and down the east coast from Maryland to the Florida Keys, though he tells us Belize remains one of his favorite fishing destinations. When he’s not on the floor of Orvis Leesburg, you’ll find Jimmy cooking and preserving, gardening, landscaping, or refurbishing curios and relics, a curious hobby that, to us, sounds both challenging and extremely gratifying. But it’s at Orvis where Jimmy’s true passions shine through, as he tells us, “I enjoy helping people find solutions to their needs for travel and introducing newcomers to fly fishing and shooting sports.” Jimmy looks forward to meeting new customers, welcoming back the regulars, and ensuring everyone gets the guidance and gear they need to create their most memorable outdoor adventures. *

Store Manager: Ray Bley
An Illinois native, Ray Bley has been fly fishing for over 15 years, starting out on the local rivers of The Prairie State and graduating to the spring creeks of the famed Driftless Area of Wisconsin. Saltwater is his current pursuit with the ever-popular redfish in his sights. No stranger to the Orvis family, Ray has been with us for almost a decade, and was previously our Fishing Manager at Orvis Chicago. Always in search of outdoor adventure, Ray’s travels have taken him to Wyoming and Montana, where he even witnessed a break-in of sorts while at a campground near Glacier National Park. The culprit turned out to be a bear, which, considering the locale, was just another day for the bear. The campers didn’t see it that way, with no one sleeping a wink until the bear was safely escorted off the premises. While Ray doesn’t foresee any bears wandering in at Orvis Virginia Beach, he does look forward to helping customers of the human variety with their next big adventure, whether it’s on the water, in the field, or anywhere out in the natural world.
