Why Are We Called the Wulffies?

Delta Fly Fishers actively seeks to support all anglers on the water! We have a very supportive membership and a growing group of women anglers that enjoy being on the water and helping others develop their skills and outdoor opportunities.

2022 Women's Activities!

January 29, 2022; 9:30 to 1 pm at Day Use Parking Lot 1 at the Comanche Dam Fish Hatchery; Soup and Streamers 

Women's outreach hosted its first outing of 2022! Thanks to our 8 participants for coming out and exploring the basics of streamer fishing. The day was super enjoyable- great weather, yummy food and amazing company. Looking forward to many more fun days like this with the Wulffies!

February 25th: A special thank you to all our female anglers who came out to the Fly Fishing Expo in Pleasanton! We had 10 women from our Wulffies attended. Our anglers explored the booths and took advantage of the casting lessons and casting challenge. We also had 4 anglers complete the scavenger hunt and Mary from Amador Fly Casters won the random drawing! It was great seeing everyone there. Thanks so much for coming!

March 13th: Tacos and Leader Ties! We had a great time on a small local river where the exciting highlight was Michelle catching an amazing 14 inch fish on this waterway that usually produces much smaller fish. We wrapped up this beautiful day with a taco lunch. What a wonderful time with great anglers!

April 23: Float Safety and Sandwiches: We spent the morning going through getting in and out of our float tubes and pontoons and then spent a relaxing day on the water until we shared a yummy lunch! Thanks to all who came out!

Arnold Adventure! Enjoy a weekend at Dena's cabin. We will head up to Arnold Friday evening and fish for some fun blue gill.
