Orvis has an extensive selection of fly rods available. This is good...unless you have no idea on where to start. With some luck, the table below should give new anglers in search of a fly rod an idea on where to start. New anglers should avoid Orvis Bamboo fly rods and T3 series fly rods, as they are more difficult to cast.
For all-around trout fishing, on rivers of all sizes, in a wide variety of conditons, then the Orvis TLS fly rod and the Orvis Helio Series are both excellent choices. Get a rod weight between 3-6 (depending on what you fish for, where you do it and your own personal preferences).
For fishing smaller waters primarily, the Orvis Superfine Series is the ideal choice. This full-flex fly rod is a joy to cast in tight, small-stream conditions.
For the new angler on a tight budget, go with the Clearwater Series fly rods. Yes, it's more expensive than the Streamline Series. But the rod is much better. The Streamline Series is designed for the angler who may not remain in the sport for long and for children.
Spend too much time in airplanes? Well, if that's you, then the Frequent Flyer series might have your name on it. Just remember, a four-piece fly rod also breaks down into a fairly small package that is suitable for air travel, too (although it won't fit in a carry-on).
