History of Fly Fishing Women of Minnesota

In 1990 our club was started and called Wading Women of Minnesota.   The first information regarding the club is dated the end of 1997.   A governing board was created and the first list of officers was dated back in 1998.  Officers included President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Director, Education, Fund Raising, Membership, Program Director, Newsletter, Social Director and Trip Director.

As of 1991 there were 51 members and the club joined the Federation of Fly Fishers.  In 2002 a Certificate of Incorporation was granted our club.   In 2003 the club name changed to Fly Fishing Women of Minnesota.  Here is the first logo we used with that name.

This logo has since been updated to the one you see today on our website.

In 2014 the second website for our club was created using the current domain name of flyfishingwomenmn.com. This site is still used today.

On December 13th, 2016 a public Facebook page for Fly Fishing Women of Minnesota was created and today we have one thousand followers of that page.  Our members only Facebook page was created on January 19, 2018.  Currently we have 141 members listed on that Facebook page.

In 2022 we became affiliated with the Fly Fishers International Women Connect club

Today we are still the largest women’s fly fishing club in the state of Minnesota.
