It was founded in 1996 by Fanny Krieger and members of the Golden West Fly Fishers of San Francisco, CA. Our goal is to connect women interested in fly fishing with each other and all aspects of the sport. Further, we encourage our members to maintain a dialogue with the fly fishing industry that promotes the recognition of women in the sport.
