Welcome to the home page of the Irish International Fly Fair

Irelands first and up-to-the-minute event on the Fly-Fishing and Tying calendar.

This the fourth successive year of this ‘Fair’, having  evolved from the “Killyleagh Fly Fair” it is now in its second year as the IIFF and is again hosted and organised by the Dibney River Conservation Trust, a not for profit organisation based in the Village of Killyleagh .

The ethos of the ‘Fair’ is to highlight the Trusts struggle with its attempts to restore the infrastructure of the Dibney River that flows through the village of Killyleagh then into Strangford Lough and the strength of this ‘Fair’ is that it is held throughout the village, including the impressive Killyleagh Castle.
Please browse through the sections of our website where you will find information on 35 of the world’s top fly tyers who will be demonstrating at the fair, the fly casting workshops and demonstrations delivered by AAPGAI and APGAI Ireland, the childrens workshops hosted by Ted Malone and APGAI Ireland and the talks and discussion forums covering a variety of subjects from Dr Ken Whelan “Director of Research North Atlantic Salmon Federation “, Dr Tim Jacklin & Shaun Leonard “The Wild Trout Trust” and Lucy Bowden & Dr Rebecca Thorpe “Hardy Greys & Fishing for Everyone”.
