Our sixth annual Damsels Fly class, for women who want to learn to fly fish, was, as always, a great success and great fun.
25 ladies of all ages, from all over the state, gathered the morning of May 3rd at Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan. After breakfast snacks and an icebreaker, they dug into gear, learning the equipment an angler needs and doesn’t need. Each received a fully loaded lanyard with tips on using each of the tools it contained. By morning’s end they could rig a rod from backing to fly, including all the needed knots. The afternoon included fly tying and casting lessons!
