September has become the month to promote and highlight “Women in Fly Fishing”. Men appear to outnumber women in the sport of fly fishing, and in the membership numbers for the Alamo Fly Fishers. It has become obvious to the leadership of this club that we need to do more to attract women to fly fishing. As a rule, women learn quicker than men to be better fly casters, and generally are thought to be better at tying flies. Women who try fly fishing seem to develop better mechanics sooner than men, but for whatever reason they don’t sign up with the same numbers. The theme of the September meeting is specific to women in fly fishing, and is designed to boost their participation in fly fishing. We all know men and women are different, and they have different interest, expectations, and methods of satisfaction. The Alamo Fly Fishers would like to attract and develop the interest in fly fishing by men and women equally with our programs and outings.

Our featured speaker for this month will be Stacy Trimble, a fabulous woman fly fisher and FFF Certified Casting Instructor. Details of the presentation are still underway, but expect the evening to be fun filled and entertaining. Stay tuned for a list of other exciting women anglers that will be at the meeting as guests!
