According to this piece by the Associated Press’s Pat Graham, the number of female fly fishers in the U.S. is 3.5 million and growing. “Standing on a rock outcropping that juts into Officer’s Gulch Lake, Char Bloom resembled an orchestra conductor the moment before a concert. Instead of lifting a wand, though, she waved a fly fishing rod.”
