George Maciag has been involved in fly tying and fly fishing since childhood. While obtaining college degrees in biology, he studied entomology and stream ecosystems learning much about the life cycles of both fish and insects that reside there. As a person who taught high school and college biology for many years, he is skilled at communicating with both new and experienced tiers. He keeps pace with technological advances in fly-tying supplies and fishing equipment while maintaining his passion for classical patterns and materials used in the past, particularly the Catskill style of tying wet and dry flies.

George has taught fly tying and casting at the L.L. Bean store in Center Valley PA since its opening. He has also instructed at numerous fly shops and gives both private and group lessons. His classes are very popular since he has the ability to combine science to the sometimes complicated mechanics of fly tying resulting in an enjoyable, easy-to-understand curriculum.

George is also a certified guide who is intimately familiar with many eastern and central Pennsylvania streams. Again, his teaching skills are a tremendous benefit when it comes to on-stream instruction.
