Rainbow Waters Women's Fly Fishing Academy 

I'd like to invite you on a great learning adventure. Over the years, I've been approached countless times by women who have expressed interest in starting in the sport of fly fishing or improving their skills. They want a course that is a women's only experience with a female instructor.

So, we have introduced a special ladies only instruction and vacation package designed to be both educational as well as great fun. I am blessed to be able to guide in British Columbia, Canada, in one of the most beautiful places on earth and I would like to share this experience with you. The BC trout are plentiful and often large. We will be fishing on and around Quesnel Lake with 500 miles of shoreline, numerous feeder creeks, rivers and abundant wildlife with few or no other people present. Imagine a classroom such as this! I'll be your instructor and guide, and I would be honored to have you join me at the Rainbow Waters Women's Fly Fishing Academy.
