The Committee
Current ILFA Officers/ Committee Members 2009/10
 Chairman:
Susan Brown (Lisburn, Northern Ireland)
I took up coarse fishing at age 10 as it was a good way to hang out with the boys!. However once I tried flyfishing I was totally hooked - its a lifetime obsession. I joined the Irish Ladies in 2000 after meeting another member at a flytying class and have represented Ireland 6 times. My happiest memory was being top rod of the Irish Team during the International on Lough Corrib in 2001. Lough Erne and the Lake of Menteith in Scotland would be my favourite venues. My favourite fly would be a Damsel Fly as I've caught pike, trout and salmon on it.

 Honorary Secretary:
Julie Gerry (Maynooth, Co Kildare )
I started Flyfishing with my husband 14 years ago, it was a case of either learn to fish or be on my own a lot, fortunately I loved it immediately! I joined the Irish Ladies in 2000 and first fished for Ireland in 2001 on Lough Corrib, and have made the team every year since then! I am really delighted to have been on the gold medal winning team last year, it was a fantastic achievement for Ireland. This will be my third time to Captain the Irish Ladies, I was captain in Wales in 2002 and Lake of Mentieth in 2008. I sincerely hope I can help lead the team to another gold medal this year!

Sorcha Weld (Swords, Dublin)
Fished for Ireland - Nine Caps.
Favourite fishing venues are Lough Conn, Melvin and Mask.
Favourite flies: Octopus, Telephone Fly and Black Pennell.
I took up fishing when I was five years old, I started in the local river coarse fishing and then progressed to flyfishing through my brother and fell in love with it, it is a great escape from my busy work schedule.
I love the saying "The worst day of fishing beats the best day of work". I am really looking forward to Wales in June.
