Irish Fly Fair

Trevor has been tying flies for more than 40 years and has been fishing for a long time before that. Trevor feels it is important to introduce the craft of fly dressing to new generations. As well as offering guidance to new or developing fly tyers at different shows, he finds his work with his fly dressing classes particularly enjoyable and rewarding. “I love to see new people taking up fly dressing, especially the young people I meet every year at the Fly Fair Youth Fly Tying Competition. It is great when they come back and show how well they have progressed.

The benefits of learning to tie flies include a pastime for the off-season; a new creative skill and hobby; understanding more about fish and their food; and feeding our daydreams imagining our fly fooling a mighty fish!

“Looking forward to seeing old and new friends at the Fair.”
