Always wanted to learn how to fly fish but it looks too complicated? Or, you have been fly casting for years and could use some instruction to improve your casting technique? Wonder why you keep getting "wind" knots? It is not because of the wind. It is because you aren't dropping your elbow on the forward cast... I know because I do it a lot when I try to "power" an extra long cast. Here is a excellent video by Joan Wulff that shows the basics of fly casting. In addition, here is a link to 10 videos by Joan Wulff that covers almost all aspects of fly casting... enjoy! 
'On the Rise' Newsletter – August Issue Offers Events, Ideas and Inspiration
TU's Women's Initiative was launched in 2011 to address the concern that only six percent of all TU members were women, while at the same time women made up 36 percent of all anglers in the U.S. Since the initiative was started, we continue to see incredible growth in our female membership and dozens of new women leaders stepping up in our chapters and councils! The August edition of the Women's Initiative Newsletter "On the Rise" is designed to share the best practices and lessons learned by your fellow volunteers in recruiting, retaining and engaging women in TU and in leadership roles. In this issue you will find special features on:

Paint & Wine Night!
Hello Women in TU! I'd like to get an idea if any of you would be interested in doing a paint and wine night! I'm sure you know it's all the rage, and some of you may have already done it, but as a group I thought it would be great fun for us. I'm including the instructors website (PaintDateCt.com) so you can see what they do, and they've promised me that they would make a special art project for us, namely a beautiful trout of our choice. So please contact me if you think you'd like to give it a try. It would held in the area near the south west portion of the state. Think about it ladies, painting and drinking wine, doesn't get any better than that, unless we were fishing!
