It's nice to know that there is indeed conversation going on about this subject. I think most of us would agree that having a ladies club can and infact is an important and interesting way to benefit the fly fishing community. I've had husbands beg me to PLEASE teach their wives how to fly fish or marriage therapy will now have to be included in their financial budget. I've had women ask me the same thing. It's not so much about the guy vs. girl thing as it is about substance vs. style. The reason our Club was started was to address those issues as well as to provide a place of learning in a comfortable environment. It induces us to get away from the spin-cycle of life and develop relationships as well as do some yoga in waders!
There is so much I have learned from the guys and gals I've fish with. It certainly isn't about exclusion, rather about preparing women to be confident and competent fly fishers on the water.
