Learn how to fly fish, and get the low-down on why and how to do it by bicycle, all in the company of amazing women. Join us for a 3-day bikefishing journey.

Let our partners at Swift Adventure Co. and Emerald Water Anglers guide you through this distinctively Pacific Northwest Experience.

Fly fishing and bicycles have something mesmerizing in common: both deepen our experiences in the great outdoors, challenging us to listen, look and intuit our surroundings in a way that brings us closer to the natural world. Come with us as we fuse our passions with a day of pedaling and casting on the outskirts of Seattle. We’re eager to share a full day of exploring winding roads and meandering rivers, honing our fishy senses, and escaping city life with you.

The 3-day adventure will teach you the skills you need to continue your bicycle and flyfishing journey, and is open to new and seasoned anglers alike. This trip is welcome to anyone who identifies as female as well as non-binary folks.

Fly Fishing in Western Washington

It doesn’t take too many miles from Seattle to get off-the-beaten path on a truly great “bikefishing” adventure. During the 3-day adventure, we’ll explore the waterways of the Salish Sea Watershed - either Hood Canal on the eastern edge of the Olympic Peninsula or the Stillaguamish River near Camano Island.
