NOTHING FISHY ABOUT THIS DEAL
Calling all fly-fishing fans and wannabe anglers! Plan ahead for the upcoming season with the Orvis Fly Fishing Experience offered by The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa in Manchester, Vt.

Lessons are catered toward guests’ level and ability; all experience levels are welcome. The package includes overnight accommodations; a lesson for one or two people; two tickets to the American Museum of Fly Fishing; and farm fresh breakfast served in Chop House (up to $22 value).
