Jerome Francis Molloy is a new friend developed as a result of my quest for salmon fly tyers. He resides in New Brunswick Canada. Jerome has a web site dedicated to Atlantic Salmon Flies and fishing where he sells every fly known to catch Atlantic Salmon where ever the are found.

The following biographical information was supplied by Jerome:

Jerome Francis Molloy, born February 24, 1956 in St. John?s, Newfoundland ,a descendant of Irish ancestry, has become a respected flyfisherman and fly tier. It was a natural progression of this passion that would inspire his finding of Atlantic Salmon Flies.

From the outset, his peers recognized his talent with feathers and fur. In 1986, he entered his first competition, The Atlantic Salmon Conclave, and captured first place with an entry of the most famous of all flies, ?The Jock Scott?.

Not one to be held by complacency, Jerome continued to develop his skills and later won the prestigious ?FQSA World Championships? in 1991 and 1992. Also in 1992, he captured the Eastern Woods and Waters Flytying Championship. Additionally, he would achieve acclaim with both the Mustad International Open Flytying Competition and the Ontario Out of Doors Competition. In 1995 he was accredited by both the Federation Quebec Salmon Atlantic and the North Atlantic Salmon Fund, a Master Tyer and was inducted in the FQSA, Fly Tyers Hall of Fame.

For over 20 years, Mr. Molloy has actively participated in numerous fund raising events to protect and conserve our fisheries and ecosystems.

As an instructor and dresser of Classic Atlantic Salmon Flies, Hair wing Salmon and Trout Flies, this experienced angler has earned international prestige and notoriety, and he has fished extensively throughout the Salar?s eastern range.

Mentors that have influenced this Master Tyer, include the historic works of Kelson, Francis Francis, Hale, Traherne, Blacker , T.E. Pryce Tannatt and W.S.Hunter.

I only have a couple of fly pictures but more will surly come.
