It’s not every day that fly fishing appears in Yahoo News, however it did on July 31. Kurt Spurlock composed an excellent behind-the-scenes short article for Yahoo highlighting the Orvis fishing pole store in Manchester, Vermont.
Manchester is a small town with just 2 traffic lights, however it’s likewise house to a few of the most advanced innovation in all of fly fishing. As Spurlock composes, “Mass production, effectiveness, and economy are seldom words we connect with quality or workmanship. A walk through Orvis’ fine-tuned assembly line, nevertheless, might alter your tune on that topic.”
I have not made it to Manchester myself, however I have actually visited other factories from a few of the world’s leading rodmakers, and my recollections were relatively comparable. These stores are a special mix of mass production and quality assurance that many anglers, I believe, either do not think about, or neglect completely. There’s more of a human component in every rod than you ‘d likely anticipate.
To see what I indicate, you ought to check out the rest of Spurlock’s story, which you can discover here.
