It is with great sadness that the organizational team that presents the annual Wisconsin Women’s Fly-fishing Clinics has made the decision not to hold the Women clinics for 2020.
After ten successful years of hosting these events for hundreds of women, we have made this decision in alignment with our core values of safety and care for the environmental resource and each other. As you know, life for a trout is unique and fragile. As it turns out, so are our human lives. Our choice to cancel this event is for the protection of you and each other. We would have hosted over the course of five days, close to 100 students, river buddies and instructors – some of whom fall into vulnerable populations. The consequences could be significant if any one of us brought ill health to those living in southwest Wisconsin, to those through which we would travel, or back to our own communities.
We are particularly disappointed we will not be able to share your expertise and enthusiasm this year with our beginning fly fishing women. We can’t wait until we can safely resume holding clinics. Dates for 2021 are June 16-18, for the Women’s on the Water Skills Clinic and June 18 -20 for the Basics Clinic. Please mark your calendars.
Whether you have already seen this film or not, please go to https://vimeo.com/325794212/50145f0cf9 to perhaps get pumped up and proud of all of our achievements in introducing women to fly-fishing. Be safe. We all want to be on the creeks soon – healthy and happy.
