The Mid-Island Castaways Fly Fishing Club is establishing a women’s group, geared towards enjoying all aspects of the sport.

The club aims to provide learning and fly-fishing opportunities for women of all skill levels by cultivating, facilitating and maintaining connections within the group. They have experienced members willing to share knowledge regarding equipment, casting, where to find fish, how to catch them and fly tying.

They invite women to come out and help form the new programs and activities.

Although Mid-Island Castaways Fly Fishing Club is a central Island club, the women’s group would liaise with other fly fishers and committees in other organizations to create opportunities to meet, engage and foster sharing, inspiration and participation in events and activities.

A Zoom meeting will be held on Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. The club urges interesting women to bring their vision and enthusiasm to start this group and help shape the future of women in fly fishing on Vancouver Island.

To attend you muse pre-register with Mary Zolmer at mezolmer@gmail.com for the link to be sent to you.
