WELCOME to the Golden West Women Flyfishers, the most exciting club in San Francisco!
We started out in 1983 as two friends getting together to start a club, and now we have about 150 women who meet and FLY FISH.
On the second Tuesday of every month (except July and August), we meet to exchange fishing stories and ideas, and to learn from one another and experts who are invited to do programs and spend a very social and convivial evening.
We have fishing outings, several a month during the fishing season.
We have conservation projects, the most important being the urban in-school aquatic program which has hundreds of children very excited about cleaning up a stream and incubating and raising native trout and other sensitive riparian and aquatic species. They then release them into the streams they have adopted.
And we have a bi-yearly fundraiser to finance all the projects we are involved in.
Some of our members are complete beginners and learn from our more experienced members. We have a good time together and have made friendships which are going strong after many years.
As founder of the GWWF, I personally invite you to become one of us.
Read about our club in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle!
Warmly,
Fanny
