Angling at the Fair
Fisherman's Row at the National Country Fair is just a Mecca for the angler.  Nowhere in Ireland can such a quality array of fishing related equipment, services and demonstrations be seen.  Ireland's top anglers will be there once again in 2010 demonstrating casting and fly dressing.

Our angling exhibitors have been selected for the range and quality of their products which cover the whole range of game, coarse and sea angling.  With fishing equipment to suit every pocket our visitors can browse among the local and cross-channel traders who offer everything from a fishing fly to a fishing boat! The lough at Ballinlough Castle is the perfect setting for the angling competitions, demonstrations, casting tuition or for just trying out a fishing rod!  The casting platforms on-site provide perfect access to the lough and it is here that the visitors can enjoy the experts from the Advanced Professional Game Angling Instructors (APGAI) demonstrate the casting techniques used by trout and salmon fishermen.

Irish angling supremo, Peter O'Reilly, will be demonstrating fly casting for trout & salmon in the main arena each day and will be on hand to discuss fishing in Ireland and to sign his latest book.

Rounding off the angling will be the fly dressing Master Class featuring some of Ireland's top fly dressers.  Their practical demonstrations and the competitions they have planned should interest fly dressers of all ages. For the coarse angler there will be plenty of stands with fishing bargains galore and members of the Pike Society on hand to discuss their sport.
The Irish National Country Fair is organised by Country Sports Promotions Ltd.
