Women’s National Fly Fishing Team
The Canadian Women’s Fly Fishing Team is a talented and dynamic group of female anglers who represent Canada in competitive fly fishing events both domestically and internationally. Established to showcase the skill, passion, and dedication of women in a traditionally male-dominated sport, the team is committed to promoting female participation and excellence in fly fishing. The team competes in various fly fishing championships, including the prestigious World Fly Fishing Championships, where they demonstrate not only their technical prowess but also their deep appreciation for conservation and environmental sustainability.
Members of the Canadian Women’s Fly Fishing Team come from diverse backgrounds, but all share a love for the sport and a desire to elevate the visibility of women in fly fishing. Through their success and collaboration, they also inspire the next generation of female anglers by hosting clinics, workshops, and outreach events, working to break down barriers and encourage more women to take up the sport.
The team's camaraderie, commitment to ongoing improvement, and dedication to preserving Canada's natural resources are key pillars of their identity. Through their collective effort, they’re making waves in the fly fishing community, helping to shape a more inclusive future for the sport.
