The Game Angling Instructor’s Association was at the Irish Spring Angling Fair at the weekend where they were flat out teaching kids and novices of all ages how to cast a fly…

It was a great two days at the Irish Spring Angling Fair with loads of youngsters dropping by our casting area and stand. All caught fish and for many, it was their first time catching a fish!

Delighted to say that two of those attending achieved the standard to gain a casting proficiency Award, Bobby Quilty took a Bronze award and James Hope did exceptionally well to take a Gold award. We are delighted to hear that he now wants to start his journey as a casting instructor. One to watch for the future for sure.

We weren’t the only group working with kids and doing demonstrations on the lakes over at the Fair. There were coarse, pike and sea anglers from Ireland and further afield all teaching and inspiring kids to get out and go fishing. A great show – can’t wait for next year!
