The show has become a major event for anglers throughout Ireland and the UK and organisers Mara Media are delighted to announce that the 2013 show will coincide with the Irish Specimen Fish Committee Awards Day, which will be held at the Bewleys Airport Hotel, Dublin on the Saturday.
New to the show for 2013 is sea angling expert Mike Thrussell, a freelance angling journalist, product design consultant for Pure Fishing and contributor to worldseafishing.com, one of Europe’s largest and most popular sea angling websites. No stranger to Irish waters, Mike will be sharing his knowledge and skills with demonstrations and workshops.
Bob Nudd, another regular visitor to Irish waters, will be part of the show team for 2013 and is well known as one of the UK’s greatest anglers, with an extensive list of championship titles behind him.
Henry Gilbey is a fishing photographer, writer, TV presenter and consultant but, at heart, he’s nothing more than an out and out fishing junkie with a very serious obsession for saltwater fishing in Ireland. Henry writes and photographs for fishing magazine all around the world, has presented four fishing TV series for the Discovery network and has just launched his third fishing book.
Returning for a third year will be the ever popular Hywel Morgan and his talented daughters Yasmin and Tanya. Hywel is a world fly casting champion and has fished competitively around the world winning numerous titles. Hywel also has an impressive background in TV fishing shows.
Professional guide, fly casting instructor and angling writer Paddy Mc Donnell will also be giving some talks at the show on Fly Fishing for Salmon. The mystique that is sometimes associated with fly fishing for salmon can be daunting, especially for beginners, so this format will cater for anglers of all levels of experience.
A host of well know angling experts will also be available with demos and presentations on every aspect of angling: sea, game and coarse.
Always a central feature at the Ireland Angling Show is the interactive family area, expertly managed by the very knowledgeable Dublin Angling Initiative and their dedicated team. Children of all ages and experience can learn everything they need to know to take up fishing from how to set up a fishing rod, tie a knot and put bait on a hook. Many of Ireland’s most experienced and well known anglers will be present on the day and will be giving freely of their time, knowledge and expertise. In addition a huge selection of tackle and trade stands will offer products to suit every budget.
