Life on the fly…..by Lori-Ann Murphy
Last week I wrote about my niece Sarah’s birthday - which is today! She was very excited to receive all the flies and fun tackle I sent her. Pictured here is a photo taken while Sarah was guiding Leigh H. Perkins back in 2003. I can hear the laughter! This is a great timepiece because Jen Jen is also pictured with Kiki Galvin holding a 21-inch brown caught on the Henry’s Fork during her RWFFA Guide School course. Both of these guide school graduates have gone on to do amazing things in fisheries and guiding allowing me to feel like a puffed-up bird, so proud.
As I digest the fact that this is truly 2021, it’s fun to look back on our years at RWFFA. It helps me plan ahead as I think about all the friends we have made along our journey and the new friends we will meet on future fly fishing adventures. It’s also a time for me to look at what “women only” fly fishing trips have become. It was a bold move and not understood by many way back in 1994. All we knew was that when a group of women got together with the full intention of participating in the fly fishing world, a very special fun time ensued. And I’ve said it so many times, but loving the “common denominator” that fly fishing brings to our lives has brought women together that might not normally hang out. I know many of you would agree with me, that these women fly fishing friends that are in your circle now is because of a shared love for our natural world - with bugs, fishes and majestic waters. There is also the shared love for fine fishing tackle and collecting gifts of flies and cute, yet efficient, outfits!
When I was guiding in Jackson, other guides noticed my clientele. They noticed the fun. Next thing I knew I had some of the very best guys asking to work with Reel Women Fly Fishing Adventures. Many people say women are easier to teach fly fishing because we listen. I have never bought into that one - I have seen several stubborn women find it their way, and I would include myself with this bunch. But I will say that women tend to be respectful of others fishing and a natural cheerleading session is more the common thread. We have groups of professional fly fishing women leading groups of women fly fishers all over the world now! The expansive cast we have made has brought more people together and saved not only the places we play but our hearts are filled with joy in the process. Now that’s a great way to start our fishing year! I look forward to seeing you on the water. L-A

Tarpon Quest
May 15-22, 2021 or May 14-20, 2022
Stable conditions and a sea full of poons! Our resident tarpon live around Ambergris Caye all year, but then in May the migratory tarpon come in and stay until about mid October. It’s seems like all the tarpon get excited with a full house. A great time to up your chances for landing this magnificent creature. This is the pinnacle for many fly anglers and a great time to make it happen. $3,295 Single Occupancy or $2,999 Double Occupancy
Resident Tarpon range from 20-60 lbs and the migratory tarpon usually average up to 120 lbs but we’ve seen some larger fish come through. These ‘big girls’ are an amazing pursuit and something folks plan their travel around each year. We’re excited to host a ladies event in Belize; it will be a fun time showing the world how the ladies can land the big ones. Of course Permit, Bonefish and more also await! #reelwomenflyfishing #flyfishing #saltlife #girlswhoflyfish #fishitwell
