The Orvis Virtual Mayfly Festival launches on Saturday 16th May running to Sunday 31st May and aims to celebrate this special time of year for the fly-fishing community. The online festival will be hosted on the Orvis UK Facebook and Instagram pages and will feature some well-known names.
Orvis recently commissioned a survey in which over 60% of surveyed people would like to spend more time in the countryside or take up more outdoor activities, as a result of the current lockdown situation in the UK. The festival aims to remove the barriers from your route into fly fishing.
Whether you're a fly-fishing fanatic or just keen to find out more, join Orvis to meet special guests via live Q&A’s, take part in our Virtual Learn How to Fly Fish 101's, Mayfly themed competitions for all ages and fantastic fly-fishing footage.
