Evelyn says that she loves everything about the sport of fly fishing – the bugs, tying flies, casting, reading the water, traveling to remote places to fish, catching new species of fish for my lifetime list and empowering other women to learn to fly fish.  She became a registered Maine Guide and a Certified Casting Instructor in order to have more tools to offer to both Casting for Recovery and to Maine women who want to learn to fish. Evelyn started the Maine Women Fly Fishers group in order to promote fishing in Maine and to empower other women to learn the sport.  “My goal is to give back to the sport that has given me so much pleasure,” she says, “and to teach others to appreciate the outdoors and their time spent on clean rivers and lakes.”
