This book is not just about fly-fishing, nor is it just about women who fly-fish. The authors and editors have put together a wonderful blend of humor, romance, nostalgia, and the reasons we all fly-fish, male or female. The stories describe the intimidation factor of entering a male dominated sport, why they chose to do so, and what they have learned about life from the experience. It chronicles the journey through life with fly-fishing and describes entry later in life to become closer to a man, or other reasons. Reguardless of how long you have been fly-fishing or how experienced you are, this book will expand your horizons and give you a new look at our favorite sport. This is a worthwhile book for any fly-fisher and no library is complete without it.

The selection of material for this book is varied like the women with whom I fly fish. Many different backgrounds, perspectives and opinions. It was a joy to read about them all. I hope that Holly Morris decides to put together another book like this one.

I loved this book. I fished as a young girl and have been inspired to try my talents once again after reading this book of short stories. I found the stories to be humorous, and overall a great summer read!
