British Fly Fair International

The Premier Fly Tying Show

Donald Stewart

Donald Stewart

I have been tying flies for well over 40 years. 

In my early years I mainly fished the Water of Leith in Edinburgh before finding my way to The River Clyde at 16 years old, a river I have fished and loved ever since.

This was a revelation to my tying and I quickly learned the Clydestyle way of tying from other anglers on the banks of the river. 

Along with this I also fished the Assynt area in the North of Scotland, where the traditional loch flies were predominantly used. 

I used my learning of the Clydestyle tying to adapt these large heavily dressed flies into patterns that suited my eye and more importantly the fish! 

I have tied at many events as a solo tyer and also with the Sharp & Gentles Fly Tying club where I teach and instruct tyers of all abilities.
