Flytying Ireland was conceived by Peter Dunne as a means to promote and share via the WWW, the great sporting history and tradition that Ireland has enjoyed over the millenia. Irish fly dressers of old were blessed with great skill and imagination and gave to the world fly patterns that are still tied and used with great success even today. While most of those old classic patterns are no longer used for practical fishing purposes, many modern fly dressers still tie these ancient feathered jewels for the sheer enjoyment of the challenge. The tradition still lives on.
