Fisheries awareness week commenced on May 12th 2012. To launch this event Inland Fisheries Ireland held an open day at their angling centre at Lough Owel. Members of the Irish Trout Fly Fishing Associations 2012 and 2013 Youths International Teams were on hand to give fly tying and casting demonstrations. The open day also saw the launch of the 2012 Youths International Match which will be held at Lough Owel on 1st August 2012. Practice days will take place on the 30th and 31st July and teams will be based at the Bloomfield House Hotel. ITFFA wish all the best to these fine young men who will proudly represent our country. Good luck lads!
Thanks to Joe Kenna ITFFA for report.
