“Last year, The Irish Fly Fair saw some of the world’s best fly casters and fly tiers descend on The Galway Bay Hotel in Salthill. This show is a fantastic success with many of the fly dressers, demonstrators, exhibitors and the tackle trade rebooked for this year’s event. With thousands of visitors to the show, the feedback is always exceptionally positive, many saying it was the best fly fishing angling show they have ever been to. We hope to build on this success and have new trade stands, fly tyers and celebrities again for this year.”
