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!

How do you round up a sowbug? I have not a clue but if you missed the Southern Council's Conclave this year the Sowbug Roundup is right around the corner. And if you are more interested in improving your tying (than say lyin' or casting) this is one show to think about going to. Here is a link to go look see - http://www.northarkansasflyfisher.org/SB%202008.html OR just Google Sowbug Roundup.
I am glad to see the two featured folks are both gals - I met Diane Blair at a class this last weekend and she is a real nice lady.
Amazingly enough, it is in Mountain Home, AR. just two lefts from me - a left on I44 and a left on Hwy 5 in Lebanon. Plus three and a half hours.
8-10 April 2010 GCC Conclave, New Braunfels, TX
Ahh salt water. Healing water. To stand on a white sand beach looking for cruising anything, is healing. With the waves pushing gently back and forth ones body just seems to get back into a natural rhythm with the world. Sigh.
If you've never been to the salt, but want to learn as much as you can in the shortest amount of time, try the Gulf Coast Concil's Conclave. Three days of workshops, classes, tying and fishing. Here is a link to check it out - http://www.gulfcoastfff.org/
And it's not too far from San Antonio, home of the River Walk, Alamo, and some real great food. Or so I've been told.
30 April & 1 May 2010, 9th Annual Smallouth Rendezvous and Fly Tying Extravaganza, Tahlequah, OK
