Beginner Fly Tying Workshop
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of fly tying and create two olive Woolly Bugger flies to take home. You’ll be introduced to the essential tools of fly tying, learn how to use them properly, and gain an understanding of hook anatomy and other key concepts every tyer should know.
This class runs approximately two hours, and all tools and materials are provided. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a love for fishing!
Jason Hall
Owner of The Fly Fishing Workshop
Licensed New York State Hunting and Fishing Guide
Marine Corps Veteran
Jason grew up along the Hoosic and Walloomsac Rivers, spending nearly every free day chasing trout. When his family later moved to the Adirondacks, he discovered a lifelong love for brook trout in the mountain ponds and streams.
After high school, Jason served as an Infantry Marine, traveling the world with the Marine Corps. When he returned home, his then-girlfriend (now wife) gave him his first fly rod—a gift that sparked an obsession. From that moment on, he rarely left the house or went on a trip without it.
Not long after, Jason began tying his own flies, which deepened his connection to the sport. Over the years, he has fished for both freshwater and saltwater species up and down the Eastern Seaboard.
His passion eventually led him to open The Fly Fishing Workshop in Glens Falls, NY, where his mission is to make fly fishing approachable and affordable for all.
