Overall Rating:
Great Instructor and first class facility.,
June 16, 2012
By: Sevilla257
from Sandanona Millbrook NY
"I was getting back into fly fishing after a long break from it, and I attended the two day class at Sandanona earlier this month mainly to brush up on my casting skills.
I enjoyed the 2 days I spent with my excellent Instructor, Bob Meyen. He spent a lot of time working with me to clean up my casting stroke while we were at the casting pond, and gave me some great advice when we on the stream fishing the next day. Wish we could have made it over to Wappingers Creek!
My lunches at the lodge both days, were great as well. Highly Recommended!"

"I am 59 have been fly fishing since i was in Boy Scouts. I attended an Orvis School this year to hone my skills before I retire. I had NO idea what I did not know! I loved my 2 days at Orvis Fly Fishing School. I have since gone out at caught trout with a confidence I never thought I would ever have!! Thanks to Orvis and my instructor (Bob) I am now the Fly Fisherman I always thought I could be!!! Thank You!!!"

Surpassed expectations,
May 28, 2011
By: grizzleigh
"An old friend and I attended the school last weekend and were treated to a wonderful experience. Across the board the program at Sandanona is topnotch--the grounds, the lodge and facilities, the staff, the lunch, the equipment, and of course, the instructors, all far surpassed my expectations. Bob and Mark, our instructors, possess all the qualities of effective teachers--passion, knowledge, preparedness, humor, and patience. My only gripe is that since returning, my output at work seems to have dropped off as time and again I glance at the fly rod leaning against the wall in my office and my mind catapults me back to teasing wild browns out of the stream."

"Instruction was excellent and my skills definitely improved. Private casting pond and stream right on the property with the Wappinger's Creek also nearby. Great operation from start to finish. EVERYONE at the Sandanona facility was extremely pleasant and helpful, they love being there and it shows. Absolutely beautiful location & lodge. Even lunch exceeded my expectations, food was outstanding. Glad I went to this school and plan to return to the location to shoot clays... or maybe just for a great lunch! Highly recommend."

"My daughter who just turned 21 and I attended the school together and we had a great experience. We fish together in Canada for Salmon and this was a great introduction to fly fishing. The instructers were very knowledgable and patient and were able to get us out on the stream fishing on the second day of the class. I would recomend this class to anyone wants to learn how to fly fish."

"I attended the two day fly fishing class two weeks ago and cannot say enough good things about it. I have fly fished for a few years but it was not long before I was learning many new things.
my casting is simply much improved......so much so that last weekend's drift boat trip with orvis recommended lodge, West Branch Angler, was more successful than I had hoped.
Thanks"

"I just attended this class last weekend and I can tell you it was worth every penny. The instructor was excellent and I was a difficult student. By the time I was done I was casting with confidence and precision. Not bad considering my casting was awful the day I got there."

"I attended the school in April 2002 and I wanted to let everyone know how impressed I was with the level of expertise of the instructors. I could not have asked for more in two days. All the instructors were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I look forward to recommending it to my friends and even more to using my new skill in this coming season. Thanks Orvis."
