We Are United Women on the Fly

United Women on the Fly (UWOTF) aims to empower and unite women in fly fishing through advocacy work, mentorship, and representation.  UWOTF maintains no affiliations with any women’s groups, companies, or organizations featured on the website; our purpose is solely to provide a platform for those who have chosen to list themselves.  Every group showcased on our website has granted us permission for inclusion and aligns with our Mission Statement and Core Values.    

Calling all fly shops

Earlier this year, we presented data from a Women’s Fly Shop Experience Survey to 25 fly shops across the US, sharing key takeaways and strategies for better-supporting women anglers. We’re reaching out again to gather your valuable insights from the fly shop perspective.

Please take a few moments to complete our brief survey by November 22nd, 2024. We’re eager to learn what’s working, where challenges remain, and how we can collaborate to make fly fishing more accessible and inclusive for women. Your input will play a key role in shaping the next steps of this initiative. Survey Link HERE.

We aim to compile your survey responses alongside data on women’s experiences in fly shops to create two presentations: one directed at the industry (specifically manufacturers) and another for the general public. On February 1, 2025, we’ll present the survey findings to the public and industry, driving change and creating more inclusive opportunities for anglers. Your feedback will contribute to this larger conversation and inform strategies for fly shops to serve women anglers better.
