„I knew I was in trouble when I began to dream about fly fishing … Fly fishing had become a passion, not just a pastime. I was hooked,” writes author Dana Rikimaru, one of America’s leading fly fishing instructors, of her beginnings in this poetic sport. Filled with adventures and encouragement contributed by women who are already fly fishing, this woman-to-woman guide gives you everything you need to wade right in … to know where to go … what to take … and how tosavor every moment of discovering a new sport. It even provides resources that can connect you with other women fly fishers. So whether you fly fish „to catch fish” (even if you release them to be caught another day) or because, as the author says, „trout live in beautiful places,” this guide is a woman’s path into a very special activity.
