Ladies International Fly Fishing Competition


Each year the Association helps to fund a team to compete in the Ladies International Fly Fishing Competition, against teams from England, Ireland and Wales. The Ladies have 2 major competitions which are used to select the Ladies International Team. Anglers must compete in both heats and the aggregate scores determine the Team. The first heat in the Championship is generally held in June or July. The second heat in the Championship and also the Ladies National competition is normally around the beginning of September. 

Ladies International 2025 Lough Lene, Ireland.

Top rod for the competition, was Sam Edmunds from England with 3 fish for 135cm and in second place was Lisa Isles also from England with 2 fish for 102cm. However, Top Scottish Rod and 3rd overall place was Deirdre Dunbar with 2 fish for 96cm, second was Kathleen Shepherd with 2 fish for 91cm and in 3rd place was Kirsty Murray with 1 fish for 48cm.
