Fishing Manager: Chris Wood
Chris Wood has spent most of the last four decades fishing, exploring the outdoors, and studying nature. The study of fish, their feeding behaviors, and their environmental requirements has been part of his daily life, professionally and/or recreationally, since the mid-80’s. He has spent thousands of hours on the water, and under it, observing fish in their natural habitats. Chris earned a BSc in Marine Science from Coastal Carolina University, which he utilized in the private manufacturing and consulting sector for nearly two decades before joining Orvis as the Fishing Manager of the New York City retail store. An avid tier of classic and modern streamers for resident and migratory salmonids, as well as patterns for coastal marine species, and a collector of vintage books on the topic of salmon angling and conservation, Chris has fly fished throughout much of the Lower 48, and in Eastern Canada, Chile, the UK, Andorra, the Bahamas, and Iceland. Chris is a dedicated conservationist, and has been a member of the Atlantic Salmon Federation for many years, having served on the National Advisory Council and US Board of Directors. To date, Chris has authored two books pertaining to water chemistry in the marine environment. Outside of fly fishing, Chris loves to spend time with his family, herds sheep, raises heritage waterfowl, hunts, and enjoys meals prepared with game in the company of good friends.
