Women’s Flyfishing®

• Alaska’s premier flyfishing company for women
• The Internet’s leading resource for women who fish with a fly rod

In business for 28 years, Women’s Flyfishing® provides a safe and supportive environment where women can learn to fly fish with both heavy and light-weight fly rods and put their skills to work on the water. Based in Anchorage, we fish throughout the State for salmon, trout, char, grayling, and pike, and provide fly fishing gear, equipment and flies for all of our trips. We also offer fly tying classes so women can fish and catch with flies that they have actually tied.
