ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL GAME ANGLING INSTRUCTORS IN IRELAND

APGAI at the Fly Fair

APGAI Ireland is the Professional Game Angling Instructors’ association in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We cover the disciplines of single handed and double handed casting and fly dressing.

Casting lessons at the Fly Fair

At this year’s Irish Fly Fair, we will have access to a lot more space than in previous years as well as being able to cast on water rather than grass.

We will provide brief casting lessons, free of charge, for beginners or improvers, to visitors to the fly fair. All you need to do is visit the APGAI Ireland stand and register for a suitable time.

Fly dressing

As in previous years, we will run the youth (under 16) fly tying competition sponsored by our friends at Veniard. You will also be able to discuss any fly dressing questions you may have with one of our fly dressing instructors.

U16 FUN FLY CASTING

Our children's coaches work as volunteers at the Northern Counties Angling Hub at Straid. Families and vulnerable adults are at the core of their work with a strong emphasis on promoting the mental health benefits of angling.

Join us

We are always interested in new members. The journey is tough but rewarding both in the casting disciplines and in fly dressing. If you would like to qualify as a professional instructor, we would be pleased to discuss the pathways to qualification. You can also find each syllabus for the different qualifications on our website at http://apgai-ireland.ie/

We look forward to saying hello at what will be a great Fly Fair.
