Women in Fly Fishing
At Saltwater Flytyers we believe that women are sorely under-represented in fly fishing. Not because of lack of interest but by lack of access to instruction that take a women's approach.
Wanda's credentials are some of the most impressive in fly fishing. She is a fly fishing instructor with a decade of experience. She specializes in working with women's groups, couples and young people. Her strong communication skills, leadership skills and sense of humor encourage people to exceed their expectations in the art of fly fishing.
She was the first woman Orvis Endorsed Guide in the Southeast and the first woman certified as a Master Certified Casting Instructor by the International Federation of Fly Fishers. She was awarded the 2005 SE IFFF "Woman of the Year", and the 2008 SE Council Award of Excellence.
She is a Lifetime member of the Georgia Women Fly Fishers, Co-Founder and Supporter of CFC, "Casting For Confidence", a retreat sponsored by the GWFFers for breast cancer survivors. She is a national ambassador for CFR, "Casting For Recovery" and a retreat volunteer since 2001.
