Fish Handling EDUCATION Friday brought to us @keep

Fish Handling EDUCATION Friday brought to us @keep.fish.wet and 📸 by @haydahlphoto. Tip #8 - Carry a Hook Removal Device.

https://www.keepfishwet.org/tips/

Carry easily accessible pliers or other hook removal tool, which will enable quick and careful hook removal. If the hooks are barbless, there is a good chance that a hook removal tool can help with release even without taking the fish out of the water. If a fish is deeply hooked, cut the line instead of trying to remove the hook.

Featured Friday – Jaeda Dennis. This Friday we’r

Featured Friday - Jaeda Dennis. This Friday we’re featuring @theprobableangler. Wise beyond her years, Jaeda Dennis, has a vision for getting other BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) teens and women, into the outdoors and experiencing nature in a different way.

Jaeda describes her IG Account as a way to show her doing things that typically wouldn’t be seen by teens that look like her. “It’s really fun to be out there and do those things. I’m glad there’s a way to document and show people the experiences in the outdoors that I’m having as well. People like me, or girls like me, black women who look like me. They can also go out and enjoy the outdoors and do the things that I do.”

We had the pleasure to have Jaeda and her mom, Demiesha Dennis, co-host our September #uwotfvirtualmeeting discussing their Spey Fishing Journey. Check out their full interview on our IGTV Channel.

Check out the Brown Girl Outdoor World website at https://browngirloutdoorworld.com/ and help them grow by making a donation.

We're beyond excited to follow along on Jaeda's fly-fishing journey but also to watch as she changes the narrative and writes her own history.

Meet @gaby_ohh , this years Redington Rally schola

Meet @gaby_ohh , this years Redington Rally scholarship recipient. Gaby shares her experience over the weekend below. Feeling welcomed in the fly fishing community is so important to #unitedwomenonthefly and we look forward to creating future opportunites so everyone can experience the JOY that Gaby felt over the weekend. ❤️

More @redingtongear Rally photos in the near future!

-------------------------------------

I was chosen as this year’s 1st Redington Rally scholarship recipient - so basically I got to go to Montana with 15 other women across the country and experience fly fishing on the Big Horn River.

Something I learned is that Fishing in general is not just for old white men in khakis trying to catch the most fish. It’s about appreciating the beauty of nature, supporting your fellow fly-fishing homies through loud inappropriate sounds. It’s about community and friendship really. - and, of course, telling grown men to suck it when they doubt your skills from time to time.

While I may not be getting a trout tattoo on my body anytime soon…I am definitely getting trout stickers and plushies to decorate my day to day life with.

This women’s retreat, not only hooked me up with some fresh fly fishing gear, but it set me up for success in discovering my new passion with confidence and just pure joy for the years to come. Not all female/non-binary/Bipoc anglers get to experience feeling as welcomed to the fly fishing community as I have been these past few days. We need to change that and we took a big step forward with the Redington Rally.

Thank you all (@unitedwomenonthefly @dunmagazine @redingtongear @kingfisherlodgemt @angelicatalan @kayla__lockhart @pixiek8 ) for making space for someone like me to discover my love for fly fishing and redevelop my own relationship with nature as well.

If you wanna hear me talk more about this trip and the memories I made or if You are wondering if I actually kissed a fish - just reach out and we will chat over a cold one.

I seriously really have a lot more to say so yeah. Reach out folks.
