Welcome to The River Runners Women’s Fly Fishing Club Website! On April 26, 2008, twelve charter members from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma gathered in Branson, Missouri to create our very own women's fly fishing club.

Our mission is to make a connection with other women who share a love of fly fishing to have fun, create new friendships and lasting memories. We strive to provide a friendly and supportive environment for women of all skills levels to learn and to participate in the art of fly fishing. Of course, the highlight of our activities is the fishing trips! We plan to get together once every three months at different locations throughout the region to explore new waters.

This is a by invitation only website. If you would like to join the RRWFC please send us an email, and we will certainly get in touch with you. All information stays within our circle of club members. Everyone who recieves an invitation will be able to add photos, join discussion threads and submit journal entries as a means of keeping connected with everyone throughout the year. Enjoy!

You Might Be A FlyFisher . . .

If every time you drive down a road and cross over a stream you look to see it it's up, down, off color, clear. Doesn't matter how big or little - the Mighty Mississippi to Tavern Creek or if you have ever fished there, I just do it. -Louisa Runnalls

If your pets are named Orvis and Brook or after flies. My cat is named Midge and the two other cats she brought home were Wooly Bugger and Grey Ghost. -Carolyn Hellmuth

If you chose which friends and relatives to visit by the fishing in thier area. (If the fishing ain't that good, they don't get visited that often.) -Louisa Runnalls

If you only go on vacation near bodies of water - lakes, ponds, streams, etc. that are fishable. -Louisa Runnalls

If you prefer to go sopping at a fly shop than Neiman Marcus. -Carolyn Hellmuth
If you plan your day around the river water levels. (If I cook dinner ahead of time, then I can fish when they shut the water off this afternoon). -Carolyn Hellmuth
If the milk spoils in the car on the way home from the store because you stopped to fish for "just a little bit". -Carolyn Hellmuth
If you compulsively pick lint off other peoples clothing because it is the right color for dubbing. - Carolyn Hellmuth
If you keep a rod ready in your car - just in case. Carolyn Hellmuth
If when you pull the lead foil off a wine bottle you go cut it into strips to use as lead foil weight for flies, before you uncork the bottle. -Carolyn Hellmuth
If whether or not you go to work depends on the river levels. (Down here on the White River it is not uncommon for people who make house calls to be "a little bit late", i.e. hours late, if they are going to see a customer who lives by the river. The first thing people ask when someone doens't show up is, what's the river level, is it wadeable? No one here thinks it is a problem. -Carolyn Hellmuth
If you find more strike indicators, split shot, monofilament pieces and flies in your dryer than you do change! - Bobbi Hulett
If you stalk your pets because you need just that right shade of dubbing. Here kitty, kitty. -Bobbi Hulett
If you evalute road kill for it's prospective use as fly tying materials. -Bobbi Hulett
If you bristle up when someone calls your fly rod and "feeshin' pole". -Bobbi Hulett
