SOME of the world’s leading young angling experts converged on Killarney this week to take part in Four Nations Youth International Fly Fishing Competition. Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland are competing in this prestigious event, which dates back to 1985. The hosting for the competition is rotated annually and Killarney has been chosen as the location for this year’s prestigious event.

Anglers for all teams must be under the age of 18 years to participate in the event and though there are no lower age limit for participation in the event, in recent years some participants have been aged as young as 12 years of age. This year’s event, which is being held in Lough Lein in Killarney, saw teams arriving in Killarney on Sunday.

All four teams are staying with Randles Hotel in Killarney on the Muckross Road.

Tom Randles, general manager, Randles Hotel, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen to host all the teams participating in this year’s event. It’s a fantastic the event is taking place in Lough Lein in Killarney, and I am really looking forward to the competition. Randles Hotel has previously hosted teams participating in both the ladies and men’s International and European Fly Fishing Competitions in previous years, but this is our first Youth Event we have hosted run by the Trout Anglers Federation of Ireland, and we are delighted to welcome them to Killarney.”
