Get Your Voices Heard

7/10/2016

I was in line at Sportsman's Warehouse with a big batch of flies, when the man in front of me (who was buying a fishing license and a couple of spin rods with his wife), commented on my purchase. "Oh, buying some earrings?" I was in shock so I didn't answer...

But, I probably should have said, "Sure am! There's no other reason for a woman like me to buy flies, obviously."

Wished you had thought of that reply to that guy before you left the store. Love your videos, keep them coming.

Laura, you are what this sport needs! It's evident from your videos that you KNOW what you're doing. I've fished many of the same waters you are showing in your videos... and you're by far the better fisher-person. Perhaps if you run into the same sort of individual while buying flies you might remark, "Yes I fly fish, because I know what I'm doing." Great videos and blog. Welcome to NM Trout. We're glad to have you as a member.

Hi Mike,

Your comment is very appreciated! I have found the fly fishing community to be very welcoming and kind. The Conclave was a great event, and I'm glad to have joined NM Trout!
