The Irish Ladies Fly Fishing Association (ILFA) will be running the 2nd trial of their 2023 league on Lough Conn on Saturday 15th July 2023.
The League is an important fixture for members of the ILFA as it determines the team to represent Ireland the following year at the International Ladies Flyfishing Championships fished against teams from England, Scotland and Wales. The next 4-Nations international event for the Irish Ladies Flyfishing Team will be held on Llyn Brenig in 2024.
Ann Kerrin, Chair of the ILFA said,
“Lough Conn was chosen on that weekend as a venue for our trial because the Ballina Salmon Festival will be happening. A number of our members are keen salmon fishers and it was felt that the festival atmosphere would provide a good social event for our members. It is also 30 years since the ILFA held its first trial (March 1993) which happened on Lough Conn. So it seemed an ideal time to be on the beautiful Lough Conn and it will be great to meet up with old friends”
Women will be travelling from all over Ireland to take part.
