Last weekend I headed over to the Mountain River Fly Shop www.mtnriverflyshop.com to visit with friend Steve Dally, do a little fishing, and teach a ladies learn to fly-cast class.

The women were fantastic, Steve was a hoot and fishing…..well, you can call me the rainbow queen, but I’m still waiting to catch that damn brown trout!

A short photo recap (photos by Steve Dally).

Iceland Round 2….

If you’ve read my first Iceland Blog, you’ll know that I have fallen in love with Iceland, it’s Atlantic salmon, and it’s hilarious residents (Rabbi).

So, a month later I teamed up with fellow Fly Max Films (www.flymaxfilms.com) hosts and brothers Naoto and Yoshi Aoki to head back to the “land of ice” to fish our asses off and capture it all on tape.

These pictures should tell the story…..

Women’s Learn To Fly Fish Weekend Follow Up

We recently had our Women’s Weekend Learn to Fly Fish Retreat and what a weekend we had!  We teamed with the Fraser’s River Edge in Chilliwack, BC on the Fraser River to host seven up-and-coming Fly Gals, teaching them how to cast, tie knots, and catch fish…..

WWb22

The incredible view from the lodge.

WWb12

Breakfast prepared by Mike and Adriana Jones (owners of the lodge).

WWb14

A happy cheer!

WWb15

Hmmmm.  Trophy fish?  Hardly…

WWb20

On our way to the river.  Weekend motto; “what happens on the river, stays on the river”.

WWb36

The Fraser River waiting for us to cause a major disruption.

WWb16

Setting up.

WWb13

Some of the lovely ladies getting ready to learn.

WWb23

Yes, I know knots are boring, but believe me when I tell you that you’ll need this info one day!

WWb24

Seriously, you’re going to need this info today…..attention please.

WWb28

Getting serious.

WWb27

Oh, what concentration.

WWb25

Passing the knowledge on (this is how it all begins folks!)

WWb30

On to the casting.

WWb32

Looking like I’m threatening to shoot whoever doesn’t listen.

WWb34

Demonstrating a bad stroke.

WWb33

Then showing why it’s so bad.

WWb26

Hmmm.  Yeah, I think we’ll stick to doing it our way.

WWb39

So we spread out down the river and prepare to catch some Pink salmon.

WWb41

Yes!

WWb18

Love it!

WWb19

So cute!

Sherry

Oh dear.

WWb9

I am woman hear me roar.

WWb5

Landing a little hen.

WWb7

First fish gets a kiss!

WWb11

Scrappy little female, the fish was a fighter too  ; )

WWb37

Oops.  Perhaps there are some leaks that simply can’t be fixed.

WWb2

Rowdy girls.

WWb40

A sunset marks a perfect evening.

We will be making this an annual event.  For more information on booking a space, email me at april@flygal.ca
