FFF Member Cecilia “Pudge” Kleinkauf has owned and operated Women’s Flyfishing®, her instruction and guide service, for 20 of the 37 years she has lived and fished in Alaska. She teaches women how to fly fish and guides them on trips throughout Alaska, and in Mexico. She is also a fly tyer and presenter on fly fishing for women at outdoor shows, fly shops, and fly fishing clubs around the country.
In River Girls, the first flyfishing book ever geared toward teaching young women the sport, Kleinkauf uses the real-life experiences of four young women to create an informative and engaging introduction for pre-teen and teenage girls. Covering everything from casting to choosing flies, Kleinkauf conveys the idea the flyfishing is not only more challenging than other types of fishing, it’s more fun, too. And, it is definitely not just a sport for boys.
River Girls is a book in which four girls, just like you, each tell the story of how they began fly fishing and why they think you should give it a try. Besides their stories, there's lots of information and comments from the girls on how to get started, the gear and how to use it, places to go fly fishing, illustrations of how to cast, pictures of girls out enjoying fly fishing, and much more!
So, how do you know if fly fishing might be a sport for you? Well, if you’re a girl who enjoys nature, someone who likes spending time around water and who wants to learn new skills, you should definitely give fly fishing a try. The River Girls and their book are here to help.
