No, I’m not talking about your friends on the trip. Although, yes, they too need love. I’m talking about THE GIRLS! I can not express this enough. One of the best tips I ever received about “what to pack” was from my friend Heather. She told me to pack a good sports bra.

Truer words have never been spoken! I don’t care what size TaTa’s you have when you are going 30 mph over waves to head out to the flats or get back to the marina while sitting on a yeti cooler, you will want to support those puppies! Holy smokes, jumping jelly beans, and unicorn farts if you take nothing else away from this piece, take this advice!! Invest in your chest!

I suggest something with great support and with wicking properties.

"I’ve had an epic lady filled trip here in Colorado. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of fishing with @redheaded_angler who I hadn’t met in person until the parking lot of the fly shop. Hannah and I have chatted a bit on Instagram and when I was planning my trip to Colorado, I decided to hit her up to see if she wants to fish with a complete stranger and to my delight she accepted.

"Thank you for a great day on some of your home waters. This is why I love the internet, there is the capability to connect with other like minded folks. You’re a gem Hannah and I look forward to next time. There are fish pics but I gotta highlight this lovely lady first, fish pics to come!

"We did have a trio on the water today but we didn’t wrangle @christian.r.Clark for a photo, it was also great to meet you and share water with you." @wild_palinor

I was recently asked "Why fishing?" @browngirloutd

I was recently asked "Why fishing?" @browngirloutdoorworld

"I sat there for a while, in an awkward silence, trying to see which reason would sound better to the person on the other end of the line. My brain couldn't come up with anything that wouldn't sound cliché.

"But to be honest. It might be a cliché connection - the feels are felt by many.

"It's the clarity, the connection to nature, the peace and the thought of absolutely nothing but nature and the right set up to get to the fish you are targeting.

"It's the way the water washes over my boots and causes my waders to hug my legs or the way the water courses through my fingers on a release.

"It's the connection of mind and body when you're standing in places surrounded by nothing but the water, trees and birds living together as if nothing else around them matters.

"It's the way it calls me to be present.

"Fishing is more than just where my line, fly (or lure) connects with a fish. It's the simple beauty of being one with nature and understanding how beautiful our connection is to a power we can't control.

"So yeah. Cliché or not, I fish for clarity, I fish for connection, I fish for the ability to be present and care about more than just what I can gain from the river or lake but more for what the powers of nature can teach the moment I step into that space."

FISH HANDLING FRIDAY brought to us @keep.fish.wet

FISH HANDLING FRIDAY brought to us @keep.fish.wet and 📸 by @haydahlphoto. Principle #3 - Reduce Handling Time

https://www.keepfishwet.org/principles

Fish are wild animals and handling is stressful for them, whether they are in your hands or in a net. Most fish that are brought to hand are still amped up based on the release of glucose to fuel their ‘fight or flight’ response to being caught. It can take hours for a fish to physiologically return to normal once it is released. The longer you handle a fish, the more stressful it is for them, which compounds the stress associated with capture.

Don’t confuse seeing a fish ‘swim away just fine’ as a sign that it has completely recovered. See the Tip on reviving fish for more information. If you are not going to take a photo of your catch, consider releasing the fish without touching or netting them. Run your hand down the line and remove the hook – something made even easier if the hook is barbless.

“We never catch fish alone. Someone taught us to tie good knots, read water, and play a fish. In order for this photo to exist, I had countless pieces of advice, tips and tricks offered to me over time, and a fierce network of women cheering me on. I feel immense gratitude for all of you!" @olywomenonthefly
