>>2033674Orvis has turned into a pandering faggotry brand targeting the suburban woke dogmom for a couple years at least now. They started the 50/50 Program because apparently not enough trout have sore lips from wimminz. They did the whole stupid black square on your social media thing last year. And when you walk into any Orvis outlet, the very first section you walk into is the women's clothing, then the men's clothing, and the actual fishing gear is all tucked into the back. I forget where it was, but one of the ones I visited barely had one display stand of random forgotten pieces of fishing gear, as if it was the clearance rack. I find it somewhat amusing that whenever I stop at the one I occasionally visit, the clerks all swarm me because they want to actually talk about fishing, not whatever dumb sweater vests are on sale for 10% off the 300% markup. Their fly selection sucks, tying materials are limited, the rods and reels can be bought from any fly shop, the only reason I visit is to purchase some random small bits and bobs like hooks or whatever as an excuse to get the locals to open up about what's biting and what's hatching at the time.
I'm fairly certain all these woke organizations and groups and shit are just money laundering schemes anyway
