The Fly Fishing Expo of Long Island, presented by River Bay Outfitters, is proud to participate in the initiative to promote fly fishing to women of all ages. The grace and beauty of fly casting, the connection with nature, and the creativity of fly tying are a few of the areas that are so appealing to women. Come and find out why women are the fastest growing group of fly anglers. This year we have a great line up of women’s presentations, demonstrations, and women specific gear displays.
