Try Out Fishing At The National Ploughing Championships
The simulator will be present at Inland Fisheries Ireland’s stand, which will be located within the Department of Communications, Climate Action and the Environment’s tent at the Championships. Anyone interested in fishing is invited to come along and have a go of the pursuit. There will also be aquariums with a range of coarse and game fish species on display.
Fisheries Officers will be on hand to answer questions from members of the public around best farming practice, angling and how to take it up as a novice as well to provide information and guidance around Ireland’s fish species and the aquatic environment.
Suzanne Campion, Head of Business Development at Inland Fisheries Ireland said: “The National Ploughing Championships is a flagship event in the Irish public’s calendar and we are delighted to attend once again this year with an interactive offering for all the family. Angling is a past time which is suitable for both young and old of any ability and we hope that attendees who enjoy fishing on the marquee floor may be enticed to try it out for real on the river bank.
The participation of the public in the fisheries resource is vital in ensuring it is protected and enhanced in a sustainable manner for both the recreational and economic benefits it offers to communities nationwide. We are looking forward to sharing insights into the fisheries resource, and the indigenous fish species that live within it, with both the general public and the farming community.”
