International Women Fly Fishers

IWFF Festival 2003

October 24 - 26, 2003

Women from all over the US, as well as from New Zealand and Canada, fished,
frolicked and feasted during the October 24-26, 2003 IWFF Festival on South
Padre Island, Texas. The redfish had heard we were coming and joined in the
fun, as did the spotted sea trout. Whether from the beach or from the boats,
the Mother Lagoon (Laguna Madre) made us welcome, as did the town. One bar’s
marquee even sported the message “Ladies, check your fly!” Besides just
fishing, we ate lots and lots of the shrimp that the area is noted for, had
some super casting instruction on the beach, and learned about the sea
turtles in the area from the Save The Turtles Foundation. The banquet and
the annual auction were both a rousing success. Stay tuned for the 2004
Festival location announcement.
