Women in the Wilds - Fly Fishing and Stream Ecology
3 Family Camp Road, White Haven, PA 18661
Many outdoor activities are traditionally seen as highly masculine spaces, which may make it harder for those who don’t “fit in” to feel comfortable trying the activity themselves. To help ensure the outdoors are for everyone, we’re hosting Women in the Wilds with a different topic each month! We invite all women and non-binary folks to join us for a friendly, non-competitive environment to learn a new skill!
We'll be joined by guest speaker Allan Shreffler, Northeast Region Education Specialist from the PA Fish and Boat Commission, for a session focused on the basics of fly fishing. After some practice on land, we'll head to the water to fish for a bit, then set the rods aside to search for the critters that inspire fly lures!
Participants should dress for the weather, wear proper footwear, and bring some water. Muck boots or waders are recommended, may be available upon request.
All program materials are included with $10 materials fee, due upon registering. Fishing license requirements are waived for participants in this program.
