Join us at Murray’s Fly Shop for an immersive Fly Tying Class focused on one of the most important aquatic insects in our native brook trout streams — the caddisfly. Whether you're a seasoned fly angler or just starting your tying journey, this hands-on workshop will deepen your understanding of the caddisfly life cycle and teach you how to tie three highly effective caddis patterns used across the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond.

What You’ll Learn:

In this class, we’ll explore the complete life cycle of the caddis — from pupa to adult — and how to match each stage with realistic, proven fly patterns. You’ll gain insight into when and how to fish each fly, with a special focus on targeting native brook trout during key hatches.

Flies You’ll Tie:

• Murray’s Caddis Pupa – Olive
  A go-to imitation for the early stages of the hatch, this olive-bodied pattern is deadly in the weeks leading up to peak emergence.
• Murray’s Mr. Rapidan Soft Hackle – Olive
  Ideal for imitating the emerging caddis, often represented by a splashy rise as the fish chase the naturals up from the bottom of the stream.
• Mr. Rapidan Delta Wing Caddis Dry Fly – Tan
  One of our most popular and productive dry flies, this pattern rides high and brings explosive topwater strikes during the evening caddis flights.

Why Take This Class?

• Hands-on instruction from experienced fly tyers and guides who fish these patterns locally.
• All tying materials provided during the class — just bring your favorite vise and tools (we have a limited supply of tools and vises on hand)
• Small class size ensures individual attention and a relaxed learning environment.
• Take home the three flies you tied — and the skills to tie many more.

Whether you're preparing for your next trip into the Shenandoah backcountry or simply want to sharpen your tying skills, this class is your opportunity to connect theory, technique, and tradition.

📍 Location: Murray’s Fly Shop, Edinburg, VA. at 10am
Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
