About Jimmy
Fly tying has been a passion of mine for a very long time. I tie flies every day, even if it is only a couple to take fishing with. I get great satisfaction teaching the art of fly tying.
I'm a fully qualified Member of APGAI Ireland and a member of the Partridge Hook company Pro team. I also write articles on flies and fly tying for both the Irish Angler magazine, Countryside Ireland and the Irish Times newspaper. I have frequently contributed to "Casting with Ceri", a podcast well worth listening to.
I do fly tying exhibitions at shows and fairs around the country and also run fly tying classes. I love tying patterns of my own and experimenting with them, over the years I have come up with some very nice patterns that catch fish for me. Another Fly Fishing expert I've collaborated with is Glenda Powell. She is a top class fishing instructor and great friend.
If there is any help or advice I can pass on to you I would be only to glad to help. Perhaps you could pass on a few tips to me I love swapping ideas with people and learning different techniques.
