We pass trips full of men on boats with their male guides steering. Women on our trips are more hesitant to fish, some even passing up buying a license all together in favor of \u201cjust enjoying the scenery.\u201d Ladies, here\u2019s the thing: the scenery is beautiful, but you are not allowed to go on a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oars.com\/idaho\/middleforkwhitewaterrafting.html\">Middle Fork of the Salmon trip<\/a>\u00a0without a fly rod. No, that\u2019s not in the O.A.R.S. handbook or the Forest Service regulations, but it\u2019s my rule because fly fishing is for women too\u2014and a guided river trip is the best place to start. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower Testosterone = Easier Learning<br \/>\n<\/strong>Multiple fly fishing guides have told me they prefer to teach women to fly fish. Fly fishing requires finesse; you can\u2019t muscle a two ounce\u00a0piece of feathers and beads into the mouth of a fish and then rip it out of the water with thread-thin line. Fly fishing also involves listening and watching the river. The best fishermen and fisher-women I know are those who can imagine what a fish is thinking\u2014which takes patience, empathy and big picture awareness\u2014all of which ladies innately possess.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laugh It Off<br \/>\n<\/strong>Sometimes your line will get tangled into such a mess that there\u2019s only one thing to do, laugh. On a previous fishing trip a gal hooked a great trout, but as she was releasing the hook, her rod fell into the water and spooled out all of her tippet, leader, line and backing. When she finally got her rod back into the boat, the line could\u2019ve made a great eagles nest. Instead of throwing the whole tangle into the bottom of the boat, however, she laughed\u2014took the next hour to untangle the (approximately) 2,300 knots\u2014and continued fishing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31185319\/Kaiser-MainSalmon_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7708\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31185319\/Kaiser-MainSalmon_web.jpg\" alt=\"Kaiser-MainSalmon_web\" width=\"684\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31185319\/Kaiser-MainSalmon_web.jpg 684w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31185319\/Kaiser-MainSalmon_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31185319\/Kaiser-MainSalmon_web-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/31185319\/Kaiser-MainSalmon_web-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s Okay to Take a Break<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cMy wife HATES fly fishing,\u201d I hear often. When I inquire into how these husbands structure their fishing day, I hear this: \u201cWe get up at 6 a.m., hit the river by 7 a.m., start drinking beer at 10 a.m., don\u2019t eat any food all day and come home at nightfall.\u201d When you begin to think, \u201cIhatethisIhatethisIhatethis\u201d it\u2019s time to put the rod down, eat a snack, read your book, or yes, enjoy the scenery. You don\u2019t have to fish twelve hours a day to be a fisher-woman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find a Role Model<br \/>\n<\/strong>Often times fly fishing media excludes women, or only includes them as bikini-clad eye candy. Having a good running list of kick-butt female fly fishing inspirations has helped keep me excited about the sport. I\u2019d recommend googling or adding to your\u00a0Instagram\u00a0feed April Vokey (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/aprilvokey\">@aprilvokey<\/a>), Maddie Brenneman (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/maddiebrenneman\">@maddiebrenneman<\/a>), and Abbie Schuster (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/abbie.on.the.fly\">@abbie.on.the.fly<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parting Advice<br \/>\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t try to learn to fish from your significant other (really, stop, I mean it!). Consider taking a female-only fly fishing clinic in your area before your trip. Find some great gals to hit the water with. And never, ever feel bad about squealing, screaming, giggling or talking sweetly to that giant cutthroat trout you\u2019re going to land.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s\u00a0note: See the original\u00a0article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oars.com\/blog\/reel-women-fly-fishing\/\">here<\/a> published on the O.A.R.S. blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oars.com\/blog\/\">The Eddy<\/a>.
