A Tribute to Women’s History Month. Women have played a powerful role in the history of fly fishing for centuries, shaping the sport we know today. 🎣✨

It began in the 15th century with Dame Juliana Berners, who wrote the first known treatise on fishing with an artificial fly in 1496, laying the foundation for the sport.

In the 1800s, Mary Orvis Marbury helped establish modern fly-tying standards while managing operations at Orvis and publishing the influential book Favorite Flies and Their Histories in 1892. During that same era, Lady Caroline Gordon-Lennox made history hosting the first all-women’s fly fishing trips on the legendary River Spey in Scotland.

By the late 1800s, Cornelia “Fly Rod” Crosby became the first female celebrity fly angler—known as Maine Guide #1—bringing fly fishing to the national stage through sports shows and public demonstrations.

In the 20th century, Joan Wulff, widely known as the First Lady of Fly Fishing, transformed the sport with her world-class casting skills and revolutionary teaching methods.

From pioneering authors and innovators to educators and ambassadors, women have been shaping the legacy of fly fishing for over 500 years—and their impact continues to inspire generations on the water. 💙🎣
