I am a very keen Fly Angler on the wild Brown and Sea Trout in the rivers of Ireland. I have been fly fishing for the last 30 odd years and tying flies for the last 20 odd years.
Over the last number of years with the help of A.P.G.A.I. Ireland, I have done a lot of work with the youths in the two clubs that I am involved in and have a lot of them now tying their own flies.
I specialize in Brown Trout and Sea Trout flies from nymphs, spiders, wets and dry flies for the Rivers of Ireland. I offer fly tying demonstrations and classes to Groups, Clubs and also on a one to one basis.
