Try joining a club. It's kinda like becoming a regular at the local watering hole; if you race in and hope everything happens the first night then nothing will, but if you can hang in there for a couple (potentially awkward) sessions then you're in.

Nice to see another female on here. There are a few but they don't post as much as the guys do. Me, I'm an old man. And a grouch. Been here since the Forum was almost formed.Wow! Thank you everyone for your very insightful responses! I will definitely take a look at those videos and fishing classes near me as well as all the recommended shops and instructors. I am excited to be more active on this site and learn even more. I definitely don't have a required note for my absence...didn't even take a hall pass, hope I'm not in trouble
I...don't know how to @ people on here (really bad millennial here), but in reponse to Jojo's first post, I am a woman! I know this hobby is probably not popular with women (none of my girlfriends want to try with me unfortunately), but I hope to meet other women on here too!
Over 20 years ago.
If you want to read back posts from 2002 just look at the Fly fishing forum page and below the header there are some numbers 1, 2, 3 A blank space and 1672. That is the gist of things. Pull that up and you will see all there is.

YAYAYAYAY!!!! Another woman! All right now don’t be going missing. There are only a few of us here. Very few.Wow! Thank you everyone for your very insightful responses!

In regards to our wondering: We often see newbies who jump on here ask a bunch of questions and never return. Or some just jump on here and post something they know will stir up folks’ ire just to sit back and laugh.

A second for Emerald Water Anglers Women's program. They do a great job keeping folks stoked on fishing of all genders. There are some great local female anglers in the greater Seattle area if you look around.

Jes, welcome to the madness that is fly fishing and welcome to these forums. There are a host of wonderful people here who only want you to succeed. It is truly an endeavor where you can be perfect and cast a line and see how how simple and graceful it can be without even getting a touch from a fish.

Even though it is a bit of a distance, invite her to our gathering?

Trout Thank Me
She hasn’t been here for about a month though. Maybe she checks in as a guest and will return. Bruce i was thinking after the holidays would be a good time to meet when it gets really boring and less busy.

Jumping on the EWA train. My wife has started to get into it and they have been great when helping her out.
