What Lies Beneath! the trout’s underwater larder and how to successfully imitate it. 

Have you ever wondered why exactly a trout takes your fly?  What movement of the fly or what material in the tying, stimulated the trout to attack? In this fascinating Webinar Ken Whelan and Jason O’Riordan will combine forces with Multi-Media Producer and passionate angler Daire Whelan, to bring you a live, interactive Webinar. They will bring you on a fascinating tour of the underwater world of the trout and its food. They will describe how best to simulate the movement, the colours and the life stages of the trout’s favourite foods.  The 20 minute Webinar will be followed by a 10 minute Q&A. If you wish to revisit the Webinar a recording will be available on the Fly Fair website and on Daire’s dedicated channel at IrelandontheFly.com.
