James
"Jimmy"
Tyrrell
Ireland
I have been tying flies for over thirty years and tying professionally for 15 years (as of 2004). I also run the Irish Fly Fishing and Game Shooting Museum in Attanagh county of Laois, Ireland.
I have a workshop on the Museum Premises where I do fly tying exhibitions and guided tours for Visitors to the Museum. You can have a look at some of the flies that I tie on my web site at www.irishflycraft.com.
I also run a Ghillie service on the Local Rivers and Lakes fly fishing for brown
trout and Salmon. In addition, I give Casting tuition with a fly rod and
run Fly tying classes.
