Fishing the Cape

Fly Fishing School and Fishing Charters Accommodations

Cape Cod boasts one of the most dependable bluefish and striped bass fisheries in the Northeast. The two day Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing Schools take place right in Chatham with lodging available right at the school location, the Chatham Bars Inn, or a number of excellent local inns. The Chatham Bars Inn is an excellent location for students accompanied by spouses that may have different interests, as it affords excellent additional non-school activities and is located right on one of the Cape's very best beaches here in Chatham.

In addition to our fly fishing school, many of these accomodations are perfect for your lodging needs if you plan to take a guided fishing trip while you are here on the Cape.
