Here is information about Emyr in his own words:

Hi, my name is Emyr Breese,

I have been tying flies for about 15 years and I first got serious when anglers asked which local patterns worked on my lakes. I was then given a comprehensive period of lessons over several months by a dear friend, George Ambler from Sheffield, an experienced tyer of Salmon & Trout flies, who stayed locally and fished everyday of his holiday until his untimely call to pastures new.

Hi, my name is Glyn Davies, and I'm from Wales.

I've been tying flies since I was ten years old when I first saw someone tie a fully dressed salmon fly. I specialise in salmon shrimp flies (Irish style) and large sea-trout singles, and this is what I'll be tying at the show.

Jörg was born in Wermelskirchen, Germany in 1971. He grew up in Witzhelden and Burscheid on the edge of the Bergisches Land (a low mountain range).

Jörg’s passion for fishing developed at a young age as a result of the various trout ponds and lakes where grew up. Once when visiting a fishing shop, Jörg met an older and very helpful fly fisher. He watched the man tie flies in this shop, who never tired of answering the many questions Jörg had. This gentlemen even spontaneously agreed to showing teach Jörg how to cast in a nearby parking lot. That was it – from that day on, Jörg’s passion for fly tying and fishing was born.

Niclas was born in 1971 and lives in Söderhamn, on the east coast of Sweden. His fly-fishing and fly-tying interest started in the mid 80's but was put to rest only a few years later, when other interests took over. It was picked up again in 2004 and on the internet he met a group of experienced tiers who quickly made him start to see fly-tying as a passion rather than just maintenance of the fly-boxes. It became a separate interest besides fly-fishing and he started to tie outside his own boxes more often, which gave his progress a helpful push.

Pike fishing in the English lake district was and still is Paul Little’s great passion. Fly dressing he started early because there was need for small Stoats tail tube flies used together with artificial pike lures. The natural progress from there was changing to fly-fishing and hence to fly dressing for trout and salmon. Paul find Oliver Edwards article ”The quest for perfection” published in Trout and Salmon very inspirational.
