Donegal fly fisher helps Ireland to Four Nations success

A Porthall fly fisher helped Ireland to success at the Four Nations Lake Championships in Wales.

Zach Barnett was on the ITFFA Irish Youth Team, which won the gold medal.

The Donegal teenager has fished for both the ITFFA and TAFFI federations.

Barnett has been on two Ulster-winning youth teams, on both lakes and rivers.

The Letterkenny woman posted eight points on Wednesday evening as Ireland defeated Georgia at the FIBA Under-20 Women’s European Championship.

Last year, he was a member of the Irish team that competed in the World Fly Fishing Championships in Madonna di Campiglio in northern Italy.

Previously, Barnett was part of the very successful 2019 TAFI Ulster Youth Fly Fishing Team that completed a double, river and lake inter provincial winning achievement on the Dennett River in County Tyrone.

This week’s win was Ireland’s third in a row.
