About us
This is a group to unite all women interested in learning about the great opportunities to get into fly fishing. All skill levels are welcome. We have a single gender mission but welcome all interested in promoting women fly fishing. I started this group to share the many resources available in our area to learn more and go fly fishing with other women. We'll learn about local fly fishing clubs and their events as well as create events of our own. We'll offer GoToMeetings formats as well as schedule get togethers at local retailers. Making women feel welcome in the local fly fishing clubs and meeting other women that want to have fun with this is my goal. Come join me.....
