The 8th Irish Fly Fair and International Angling Show, which was held in the luxurious Galway Bay Hotel November 2017, was a fantastic success and many exhibitors have already booked for next year. “We had record numbers of visitors come to the show over the two days from all over the world.” The feedback from visitors, exhibitors, fly casters and fly dressers has been exceptionally positive. Business was brisk for the exhibitors, with reports of good spending on the products by the angling public. Attractions at the show included, top fly dressers from all over the world, fly casting demonstrations by well-known angling celebrities, angling talks by experts in their field and the Youth fly tying competition. Plans are already afoot for this 2018 premier event and the Fly Fair Team have been flooded with great feedback.
