The Wharf Outfitters

Orvis chose The Wharf as the only officially endorsed Orvis Outfitter in the states of Alabama and Mississippi. An endorsement by Orvis includes an Orvis-Endorsed Fly Shop and Orvis-Endorsed Fly Fishing Guides.

The Wharf's official Orvis guides, Robby Walker and Buddy Weir, are ready to take visitors to the backwaters and beyond for a fly fishing experience that is like none other on the Gulf Coast. Walker is a fourth generation captain from Orange Beach, with over 20 years of offshore and inshore fishing experience.

"Having knowledge of the area, combined with our first class facilities and equipment, gives the customer the best possible chance at a successful fishing trip at The Wharf," says Walker. "We are also very excited that such a respected name in fishing like Orvis has recognized what we have to offer in way of a total fishing experience at The Wharf."

Walker has established a premier back bay charter program where guests can do all types of inshore fishing. Also offered are fly tying lessons and casting instruction. These classes are designed to help introduce more sportsmen, and women, to fly-fishing. We also offer canoes and bicycles for land or water based excursions of The Wharf and surrounding area.

The Orvis endorsement has brought the newest addition to The Outfitters Center, The Wharf Outfitters, an Orvis store where logo merchandise from The Wharf and Orvis can be purchased. The store houses some of the best fly fishing rods and gear on the island including rods, reels, sunglasses, wallets and unique flies tied by our own fly tying specialist.

The popularity of Orvis starts with the heritage of the company. For nearly 150 years Orvis has stood for outdoor traditions, quality, and customer satisfaction. All Orvis products are backed with a no questions asked guarantee. Orvis' mission is to exceed customer expectations.
