River Girls: Fly Fishing for Young Women

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. 

In River Girls, Cecilia "Pudge" Kleinkauf uses the real-life experiences of four young women- Alyssa, Samantha, Alex, and Blair- to create an informative and engaging introduction to the sport of flyfishing for pre-teen and teenage girls. Using a "girls can do this, too" approach, the book conveys the idea that flyfishing is more fun and challenging than other kinds of fishing and that it is definitely not just a sport for boys. 

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.
