Half Day Lessons - What to expect

Our Half Day (4 Hour) Fly Fishing Lessons are a great introduction or refresher for anyone with an interest in Fly Fishing.  We conduct these fly fishing lessons on the Shenandoah River where we will fly fish for smallmouth bass.  This fishery provides an opportunity for you to learn a variety of fly fishing techniques from top water to streamers fishing and nymph fishing while learning good casting and fly line handling habits.

How does it work?

You will meet your instructor at Murray's Fly Shop in Edinburg, VA at 9 a.m. Your instructor will go over flies, leaders and answer any questions. If you need a Virginia freshwater fishing license you may also purchase that at the fly shop that morning. (Please arrive 15 minutes early if you need a license.)  Then you follow your instructor to the Shenandoah River.
On the river we cover casting and rigging a fly rod, fly selection, wading safety, knot tying, fly line management and reading the water. All Half Day Fly Fishing Lessons end at 1 p.m.
