SATURDAY FLY FISHING WORKSHOPS I conduct these workshops from November through April on Saturdays in my fly shop. I cover various topics and many take these as a basic course to get started in fly fishing.

Workshops are held from 10a.m. to noon at the fly shop on the dates listed. The cost is $20/per person.

You can register either online at www.murraysflyshop.com or call us at 540-984-4212.

FINE POINTS OF NYMPH FISHING FOR TROUT January 13, 2018 You can catch many large trout with the techniques, flies and tackle we cover in this two hour workshop.

Special water reading is also covered here along with a refined indicator system which helps in detecting the trouts' strikes. Harry Murray will be using a slide show that will show the various types of water and the best flies used for nymph fishing for trout whether you are fishing in the Shenandoah National Park, stocked trout streams, or in the Rocky Mountains.

TROUT FISHING IN THE SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK 101 February 24, 2018 Learn to Fly Fish! This two hour workshop will feature a slide show and a map review of the Shenandoah National Park in order to share with you my 40 years of fishing in the Park. My goal is to help you find the best streams, tactics, and flies so that you may enjoy the Park and its trout fishing as much as I do. The Shenandoah National Park asked me to write a book on the Park many years ago, to which I did. This book is the official book for the Park--Trout Fishing in the Shenandoah National Park by Harry Murray. By using this book and the maps we have in the fly shop I can help you find some of the best streams to fish in the Shenandoah National Park. Most beginners take this 2 hour class and then follow up with our On The Stream Mountain Trout Schools in the spring. Space is limited so reserve your spot today!

SMALLMOUTH FISHING ON THE SHENANDOAH RIVER 101 February 10, 2018 March 17, 2018 This 2-hour class will show you the best access points on both the North Fork and South Fork of the Shenandoah River by utilizing my master map and the books I have written--Virginia Blue Ribbon Streams and Fly Fishing Techniques for Smallmouth Bass. I will be presenting a slide show on how to fish streamers, nymphs, and topwater flies in the various sections of the river as the season progresses. There are special discussions on selecting the specific artificial nymphs to match the natural nymphs and the best tactics to use.

Likewise, after identifying the natural minnows in the river I will show you how to choose the best flies to match these minnows and the most productive tactics. Topwater fly fishing for bass is one of the most exciting forms of angling so I will reveal the special methods which will enable you to refine your tactics. My goal with this class is to help you find excellent fishing throughout the Shenandoah Valley for smallmouth bass.

Typically students who attend this class end of taking one of our Smallmouth Bass On The Stream Schools during the summer to get hands on experience on the Shenandoah River.

LEARN TO FLY CAST & RIG TACKLE March 3, 2018 March 24, 2018 April 14, 2018 If you want to brush up on your fly casting, learn a new cast, or simply try it for the first time then this is the class for you. On our casting lawn, I will teach you how to perform all of the standard casts as well as roll casts, curve casts, and shooting line. After the casting class we will then proceed back to the fly shop where I will show you how to rig your tackle including the knots to use when putting your line and backing on a fly reel. We provide the rod and reel outfits for you to use for the class or if you prefer you can bring your own.

EXCLUSIVE SCOTT/ MURRAY’S MOUNTAIN TROUT ROD The Murray’s Mountain Trout Rod designed by Harry Murray and made exclusively for us by Scott Rod Company in the USA. I really enjoy fishing the small mountain trout streams and many years ago went to the Scott Rod Company with a request for a rod built specifically for this. I wanted a rod which would give great accuracy and delicacy with casts of less than thirty feet but that would have the capacity to make long casts when needed. After eleven months of testing we finally came up with this outstanding rod. This is made with emerald green winds which are delicately tipped white with a black uplocking reel seat over a high marked light wooden insert.

The Murray’s Mountain Trout Rod is 6ft. 10in., #3 weight, 3pc.

(1.6oz.) and comes with a Scott Rod Case and an Unconditional Lifetime Warranty........................................................$745.00 Available in complete rod/reel outfits on page 15.

REELS Hardy Marquis LWT Series Reels

I use all Hardy Reels for my personal freshwater fishing and they have never let me down.

Thus I am very excited about this new style Marquis LWT series. The 3 smallest sizes all weigh less than 4 oz. which is one of my personal requirements. All of these are made in England to the exact precision Hardy is famous for. The drags of these reels are capable of protecting 7X tippets and for stopping strong running large fish. They can easily be coverted from left to right hand wind. Plus they possess the beauty I like to see in a fly reel.

Battenkill Disc Reels

This is an outstanding mid-arbor reel which incorporates many improvements over the old Battenkill Disc Reel of yesteryear. The new drag system is very sensitive for protecting fine leaders on one weight lines to controlling fast running fish on nine weight lines. Easily converted from left to right hand wind. I put this reel in many of our fly rod and reel outfits because it is a good quality reel for the price.

Battenkill Click & Pawl Reels

In the several years these reels have been available they have become very popular in their price range.

They have a durable click-pawl and are best for size 2 to 7 lines. Their light weight will balance well with trout and bass rods. The extra spool is a very good investment for using with a sinking tip line while using a floating line on the reel. Easy to adjust from right to left hand retrieve.

This is the most popular reel we sell in its price range. The drag is very smooth so the Model II will perform well with your light trout rods. The drag on the Model IV is strong enough to use with your size 7 to 9 large trout and bass reels. They can easily be adjusted from right to land hand retrieve. I put this reel in many of our introductory fly rod and reel outfits to keep the cost of the outfit down but still have a good reel for the money.

Ross Cimarron II Reels

This reel is made in the USA to the exact standards for which Ross is famous. They have a zero start up drag inertia which is very important in protecting fine leader tippets when a powerful fish makes his first run. They have Teflon-impregnated disc drags that will stop the largest saltwater fish and yet are delicate enough to handle the smallest fish. They are interchangeable from left to right hand wind and will hold lines from size 3 to size 10.

However, when there is a hatch of small flies these lines give me great accuracy with small flies even on 6X and they help me buck the wind. If you use a fast rod these lines are designed to help you carry an extended line in the air.Recommended Leader: Murray’s Classic Leader 9ft.

Scientific Anglers Sonar Sink Tip III Lines I consider this the second line to purchase for bass and trout fishing after purchasing a floating line because the tip sinks at 2.50 to 4.25ips while the rest of the line floats. Ideal for nymphs and streamers. The WF-5-F/S has an 8ft. sinking tip. The WF-6-F/S has 10ft. sinking tip, the WF-7-F/S has a 12 ft. sinking head. The WF-8-F/S has a 14ft. sinking head.

The 30ft. head sinks 4 to 8ips. The running line has an intermediate sink rate.

Recommended Leader: Murray’s Fluorocarbon 6ft. Sinking Leader

Color: Black Tip/Bright Running Line................................$89.95 Scientific Anglers Sonar Sink 30 Clear Lines This new shooting head line in which the 30 foot head sinks 1.25ips. I use this 350gr. in saltwater on my 8, 9, 10 weight rods if my Sonar Sink Warm Line (which sinks much faster) hangs on the oyster bars. The 250gr. and 300gr. is good for 6, 7, 8,& 9 weight rods for bass or saltwater fishing. The 200gr. clear is a great intermediate line for bass and western trout for 5, 6,&7 weight rods.

9ft.-Specify 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X...................................$5.25 Murray’s Big Game Knotted Leaders with Loop I’ve designed these leaders with large diameter, stiff butts to simplify casting large flies and bugs even in very windy conditions. The abrasion resistant, high knot strength material lets us easily subdue the largest saltwater fish, salmon, steelheads and largemouths.

9 ft.-Specify: 6 lb., 8 lb., 10 lb., 12 lb., 15 lb.........$5.25 Murray’s Fluorocarbon Knotted Leaders with Loop Made with 100% Fluorocarbon material. We hand tie these fluorocarbon leaders to my formulas to assure they will turn over smoothly and present the flies accurately. We like to use these leaders when nymph fishing or streamer fishing.

9ft.-Specify: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X..........................$9.75 Murray’s Fluorocarbon Sinking Line Leaders with Loop We build these 100% Fluorocarbon Leaders to turn over heavy streamers. Fluorocarbon's characteristics provide for low visibility in the water and high abrasion resistance.

6ft. Specify: 2X or 3X............................................$9.80

Orvis Floating Braided Leader Systems These braided nylon leaders with Bimini tippets are ideal for delicate dry-fly presentations. Superior turnover power allows for long tippet extensions.

These leaders are four times as supple as solid monofilament and are impregnated with a waterrepellent formula that eliminates spray over wary fish. One leader and 5' Bimini tippets on a spool per pack.

This can also be used as a built in indicator for nymph fishing.

The 25lb and 20lb are excellent butt material for leaders as we use these in our Murray's Bright Butt Leaders. The Amnesia mono resists kinking like regular mono. 200 ft. spool.

The streams were selected for the quality of fishing they provide, the overall esthetic angling experience and legal access. Accompanying each bass river is a large map showing the access points for launching boats and wading. There is a map showing the locations of all the trout streams and extensive written directions covering the specific roads for easy access.--There are discussions of the angling tactics which are effective on each stream, the similarities and differences between the streams. I’ve included hatch charts showing the specific insects, their emergence dates and the best flies to match both the adults and the nymphs. Accompanying each stream is information on close by motels, B & B’s and campgrounds.........................$24.95 Special: Virginia Blue Ribbon Streams book with a Virginia Atlas --Combo Price $39.90 ($5 savings)

Fly Fishing for Smallmouth DVD with Harry Murray In this DVD I cover the various casting methods used in smallmouth fishing, how to tie the knots and how to rig the indicators. We go to the North Fork of the Shenandoah River where I show you how to read the water in order to know where the bass feed. We examine the many natural foods upon which the bass feed and see which flies match them best.

Using this information I fish different parts of the river in order to show you where and how to fish nymphs, streamers, dry flies and surface bugs. These tactics are very effective for catching smallmouth bass in all waters. 60 min.................$19.95
