Liz shares a few thoughts about Permit Quest, flyfishing friendships and traveling to Belize. Its easy!
Summer 2021
It is just around the corner! Our trips and schools are almost full. We appreciate the great response to the Missouri trip announced in the last few weeks -only two spots left! Guide school has one spot left and our Back to Basics classes have only a couple. One spot on the Women's Yellowstone trip....
If you are interested in joining Lori-Ann Murphy at a Reel Women Flyfishing Adventure event, reach out to us and we'll save you a spot!

The sun came out for our last day of Permit Quest and it was beautiful! Boat one chased Tarpon and Bonefish-and slayed the bones. Boat two wanted to target Tarpon and they found them. Lots of shots and follows but only one eat. We tried every fly on the boat and those fish were picky! What a perfect day..... great guides, great friends and a beautiful place to be.
Temperature checks for all guests and guides are part of the everyday routine at Reel Women Flyfishing Adventures!

Life on the Fly…..by Lori-Ann Murphy
We talked fishing all week. They fished hard and they were rewarded! Welcome to the story from our first week of our 6th Annual Women’s Permit Quest!
These women showed up from all over - leaving daily duties of work and family, to find some great fly fishing on the flats of Ambergris Caye. In these times, this is no easy task in itself. Making a commitment to learn more about fly fishing the salt - learning more about what it takes to get a fly to a tarpon and then make it stick. Casting to fast moving schools of permit and making a connection happen! These are just a few of the thrills and challenges. And with each day, I have the front seat to witness personal trials and triumph from these experiences. By the time we said “see you next time” and struggled with tears and air hugs - every single one of these women upped their game - their fly fishing game. They know it and we talked about how important it is to own it.
Confidence is a big word. But when Jenna said this morning, “I’m leaving more confident,” she was sharing this wonderful feeling that too often gets tested. Elese has been fishing the past two Permit Quests and now her next boat is going to be a flats boat. The sheer determination and growth for personal dreams is being shared, and it’s flat-out fabulous. Bri stayed on to learn as much as she can so she can return to teach and share. Liz left today with her slam for the week - a personal first. And a huge shout out to Steph for helping me this week as an assistant trip leader.
Thank you! Let’s share and fish when it works out for you. Until then, this group has left me feeling full of love. Cast to your dreams! L-A

Our second week of Permit Quest was impacted by the weather -for both inbound travel and the first cast. That being said there were still plenty of Bonefish landed and we had one Permit eat. Stay tuned, these women will be landing more great fish!
