Not many people realize but almost all Yosemite’s rivers and streams are open for fishing although you may find catching a little more difficult. Fly fishing is just as fun for women and kids as it is for men. In fact, most women will probably find themselves better at it then their male counterparts.
The Sacramento Bee: “Fly fishers are a fixture amid the wild scenery of Northern California rivers, wading knee-deep into the frigid rush and gracefully casting weighted lines in large loops.
The ultimate thrill comes when the angler presents a near-weightless fly so effectively that a fish mistakes it for the real thing and snatches it.
Despite this sport’s gentle – some say mysterious and romantic – nature, few of these anglers are women.
That’s a shame, fly-fishing aficionados lament, not just because so many women are missing out on fun and soul-mending scenery, but also because they agree that women can master the art of the fly more readily than men.”
