Our website is currently being rebuilt, and until the site is complete the information below will give you a brief overview of our organisation and events we have planned.  If you would like more information about us, learning to fly fish or competing, please click on this Contact Us link.

 

Introduction:

The England Ladies Fly Fishing Association was first formed in 1989 and aims to promote fly fishing for women of all ages, we have over one hundred members.

 

As well as holding general get-togethers and fishing days to introduce women to fly fishing, ELFA is responsible for running the England Ladies National and International Fly Fishing teams. The major event in our annual calendar is the National - the results from this determine the team that will represent England in the International the following year. To date we have competed in 17 Internationals and the team have won 12 gold medals.
