June 20, 2008 - Good news! There is still room available in The Women’s Wilderness Institute upcoming Colorado fly-fishing trips. If you’ve never been fly-fishing, or don’t even know what it is, now’s your time to learn. Considered a sport or a hobby by some, and an art form by others, fly-fishing is a method that uses an almost feather-light fly as a lure. Rather than rely on the weight of the lure, fly-fishing relies on delicate casting of the line to attract the fish.
The Women’s Wilderness fly-fishing trips are designed for girls and women of all ages: mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, are all welcome. Everyone can get together and enjoy the beauty of fly-fishing. The trip ranges from advanced to beginning fly fishers. This allows the more advanced fisherwomen to help and support the less inexperienced women.
During the trip, participants learn basic fly fishing technique, language, and ethics. There are three different trips: A one day trip on July 13 and another on July 21 in the beautiful Boulder area of Colorado, and a three day trip from August 8-10 in Snowy Range, Wyoming.. The one-day trips are just 100.00 dollars and include lunch and fly fishing gear. The three-day trip is a little more expensive at 425.00 per woman, but is totally worth it.
Marketing director Wendy Wray says, “Fly fishing combines art, science, and the outdoors. It is a great way to appreciate the outdoors because it combines beautiful scenery and interaction with the fish. The trip is strictly catch and release. It is a wonderful opportunity to get to know ones surroundings and to see the wilderness in a whole new way. Fly-fishing is a lot of fun and it is a very graceful artistic sport. It is to see the fish’s behavior and be able to return it to its natural environment.”
Grace, beauty, outdoor scenery, cool water, interaction with nature, and lunch? If that doesn’t make you want to go fly-fishing, I don’t know what will. Cast away…
