So many take always from this podcast if you're willing to listen, acknowledge, learn and move forward. We acknowledge we are one of the women groups that are talked about in this podcast. We're listening and learning.

This @awkwardangler podcast is part 1 of 3 "Navigating the Intentions of White Women". Take the time to personally listen to this, be open to what's hard to hear. We have a lot of work to do.

The podcast link is in our BIO. https://www.awkwardangler.com/podcast

This episode is raw, a truth telling experience from @bianca.modesta and me as individuals on how we navigate the impact of white women’s intentions in both the angling space as well as the outdoor nonprofit space.

This episode is for white women looking to continue their anti racist journey in hopes to shine light on an area that needs to change. If you’ve ever said or thought, “what can I do, I just want to learn and be better.” This episode is for you.

AND it may be difficult and uncomfortable to hear, I encourage you to lean into the discomfort and work through. People of color need your allyship.

This is a part 1 of 3. We get to know Bianca and her experiences then will dive into the questions asked in the next 2 episodes.

CONNECTION - In a world of algorithms, hashtags and followers, know the true importance of human connection.

This year, we've been connecting with more individuals who are seeking outdoor experiences and the opportunity to get "hooked" on fly fishing. We've recently connected a new friend, Shannon with an old friend @trailmix in San Diego. This Southern California connection, makes our heart happy!!

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

Fly Fishing 101 today! Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Monday. Thanks @northwestflygirl @unitedwomenonthefly for the introduction to Shannon!

TUESDAY TIP – Fly Tying February – "Dubbing Noodle

TUESDAY TIP - Fly Tying February - "Dubbing Noodles and Dry Hands" by @crazycat313. #uwotftuesdaytip

With winter well underway, our hands can endure some serious battering from the cold weather. As a nurse who has been avidly fly fishing through this winter, my hands will snag onto anything soft. It was a long time bumbling blunder with me trying to make good dubbing noodles with fly tying. Dubbing noodles often unraveled, or snagged on my dry fingertips.

What is a Dubbing Noodle?
--> Simply an amount of dubbing gently rolled or pulled into a small elongated wad of dubbing.

I was astonished to find myself creating some beautiful noodles! It is the application of O’Keeffe’s Working Hands hand cream on my hands, and a generous amount on my cracked fingertips that was my answer!

I use different hand creams to try to help heal my cracked hands, only to find myself returning back to this particular hand cream before fly tying.

Apply a generous amount on hands and particularly your finger tips and rub in well before tying. Place dubbing onto thread, pinch tight, and twist dubbing on your thread. I am simply amazed each time how easy and beautiful dubbing noodles come out. Happy fly tying to all!

O'Keeffe's Working Hands has no scent.
