Recently I've noticed a new trend in fly-fishing; WOMEN are starting to become much more interested and involved.  This is fantastic and is opening up a world of fun and a lifetime sport to 1000's of women. I struggled with learning the different knots, casting techniques, flies and even equipment to wear.  I hope to provide clear, concise information to make your transition into the fly-fishing world more smooth and enjoyable. 

 I want to make one point clear right up front . the purpose of going out for a day of fishing is to have FUN!  Leave the pressure of home, husband, kids, job or whatever behind and just have fun.  Now don't get me wrong; catching fish adds to the fun.  In an effort to maximize the fun I will be making suggestions in my articles on different things to you can control to enhance the experience; be it different equipment, new techniques, checking water flow volume. anything that will make the day more enjoyable.

 I live and fish in Colorado and have found no more beautiful place in the world to be outdoors and on the water.  I have fly-fished for trout in Colorado, Wyoming, and North Carolina, and fly-fished for salmon in New York.  All very exciting!  Since I am an avid fly-fisherwoman, I will primarily be talking about fly-fishing, but will try to provide articles on bass fishing, saltwater fishing, anything current at the time.

 I recently went on a fly-fishing outing with one of the local fishing clubs to the Arkansas River.  There were 20 plus men . and then there was me.  There are quite a few women in the club, but none of them felt comfortable (good enough) to go fishing with a group of guys.  I hope to be able to provide information and tips to women on techniques, equipment and experiences that will provide the confidence to go out and enjoy fishing!  Take a moment to read through the articles, and chat with other fisherwomen in our forum.
