Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. It is a special time to let the moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers and wives know how special they are to our lives. Many of these women are fly fishers or want to become fly fishers.

Dame Juliana Berners was the first-known woman fly fisher. She wrote “A Treatyse of Fysshynge Wyth an Angle” in 1496, almost 600 years ago.
