What to Expect
Join us for a two-day, women-led fly fishing experience designed for beginners.

On the first day you’ll learn the basics of gear, casting, river reading, and fly selection—all with hands-on guidance and expert support.

Day two will be putting that information to use fishing at private ponds and river access. There will be equipment for you to use including rods, but we
encourage you to bring your own if you have it. Walk away with the confidence to fish on your own and connect with other women who love the outdoors.

Cost/Sign Up
Cost: $20 per person

Equipment will be provided for participants to use. We encourage you to get familiar with and use your own gear if you have it. Lunch will be provided on the second day. Please be sure to have a valid Wyoming Fishing License
