Fly fisherman and fly tyer

I fly fish fro Sea Trout in and around the shores of Strangford and travel to Wexford . Cork and Kerry to fly fish for Bass
I'm a pro tyer for Bug Bond , Funky products and a few others and tie at most of the shows in Ireland
Although I've taken a year out from the tying , It was all getting too much , too many orders and not enough time
I come from a sea angling background ,beach casting and boat fishing . Also did a bit of tournament casting making it to the Irish team in 2007

Mess about round the coast in the summer. Mackerel and pollack on spinners and feathers and cod and wrasse on bottom-fished lugworm. Newcastle rocks and SW Donegal best locations last summer.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

... from 'Inversnaid' by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
