For many would-be female fly anglers, the pathway to the river is barricaded by dollar signs. The perception alone, that entry into fly fishing costs thousands in gear, inhibits many working moms, their children, and students from dipping into the budget to splurge on a new hobby.

Whether in need of waders, rod, or a float tube, Rising to the Fly is a resource for all women who aspire to fly fish but can't justify the costs.Learn more about your ad choices.
