START YOUR JOURNEY!
Join us for a day of connection, empowerment, and outdoor adventure at the Women’s Fly Fishing Rendezvous! We’ll kick things off with a gentle, beginner-friendly yoga session led by Shannon inside the cozy lodge — the perfect way to stretch, breathe, and ground ourselves before a day on the water. Afterward, we’ll gather over coffee and delicious “river cookies” for a round-robin meet-and-greet, setting the tone for a welcoming and supportive community vibe. You’ll also get a sneak peek into the Women’s Collective, with Ash and Shan sharing exciting opportunities for clinics, university programs, and guided trips.

"BRING A FRIEND! MAYBE YOU ARE ALREADY FLY FISHING BUT KNOW A FRIEND THAT IS CURIOUS! THIS IS A FUN AND EASY INTRODUCTION TO WHAT WE DO AT RED'S"
CREATING COMMUNITY
The fun continues outside with a lighthearted relay race — think oversized waders, boots, and fly rods — guaranteed to bring laughter and break the ice. Then we’ll dive into hands-on skills workshops where you’ll split into small groups to learn about reading the river, entomology, and casting techniques. Whether you’re brand new to fly fishing or looking to sharpen your skills, this is your chance to learn from experienced, passionate women in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
GEAR TALK & RAFFLE PRIZES
We’ll wrap up the day with a gear talk and Q&A session where Ash and Shan will showcase their favorite equipment, clothing, and seasonal essentials. There’ll be time to explore the shop, ask questions, and maybe even win a prize in our raffle! Upon arrival, each guest will receive a raffle ticket and a welcome table full of goodies — from Red’s and GWG stickers to hats, cider, and more. And for those who want to keep the good vibes going, we’ll head to the Grill for an optional lunch. Come as you are, leave inspired, and connect with a community of women who love the water as much as you do.
