Women's Learn To Fly Fish Weekend Follow Up


We recently had our Women's Weekend Learn to Fly Fish Retreat and what a weekend we had!  We teamed with theFraser's River Edge in Chilliwack, BC on the Fraser River to host seven up-and-coming Fly Gals, teaching them how to cast, tie knots, and catch fish.....
