The Orvis Beginners Saltwater weekend is becoming a real Red-Letter annual event in the company’s busy (and fantastic) ‘experiences’ calendar. Set over two days in the summer, the event gives aspiring UK saltwater fly anglers the opportunity to acquire a sound grounding in this growing arm of the sport. This includes an understanding of the essential routes to saltwater success, the vast range of potential environments and species encountered, tactics, tricks and pitfalls, the all-important safety aspects, and of course the gear. And whilst everyone loves a good chinwag about rods, reels and lines, it often all comes down to “What do I put on the business end?”.
Please see below the top 10 flies for this event, as chosen by Joe Walker.
