A few weeks ago at the Federation Fly Fishers International I had the pleasure of leading the Women’s Fly Fishing Workshop. I had an awesome crew of partner instructors and an tremendous group of students anxious to take their skills to the next level. All of us had a blast and regardless of being an instructor or a student we all learned something. I am not quite sure what it is— but I love the events when women anglers get together. Below are a few pictures from the event! Enjoy

We started the day in the classroom – but within two hours – we were outdoors casting or headed to fishing.

We would break into two groups of 8 to allow for more conversation during each topic. Here Mary Ann is kicking off casting.

Our last topic during casting – was what to do when you fish takes your fly…Aka how to get that fish into the net.

On day 2 we headed to Depuys’ by 11:00. And of course we had to stop and check out all the fish you can see in the crystal clear water.

And you can’t learn to fly fish without learning about the aquatic insects. Thanks to Molly and Heater for collecting.

Molly discussing the process of matching flies to the bug sampling. Too fun. You can never know too much about bugs.
