International Women Fly Fishers
Regional Rendezvous
Taos, New Mexico

Women fly fishers are invited to come to a regional rendezvous in Taos, New
Mexico, April 21-24, 2005. The meeting will explore fishing on the Rio Grande,
with opportunities to fish for trout and Northern Pike, possible early fishing
in small streams of the high country or angling for brown trout on the
Cimarron River, near Angel Fire. Other places that may be included are the
Culebra River, which is a section of private water in southern Colorado, a
trip to the San Juan River or The Arkansas River, also in Colorado. 

This weekend was chosen to try and take advantage of pre-runoff conditions and
to fish during the hatch of caddis flies on the Rio Grande.  With the wet
weather we have had this winter, we are hoping for a delayed runoff.

Accommodations will include a modestly priced hotel, with room prices in the
$70 to $100 range (per night), or any one of numerous bed and breakfasts in
the area. The price range for rooms at the latter lodgings can vary widely,
depending on the degree of luxury preferred. The ski season will be over and
lodging prices should be more reasonable. There are excellent restaurants in
Taos. This is IWFF’s 10th year, and we have other wonderful events scheduled
throughout 2005. I value the friendships I have made though IWFF, and hope you
can enjoy meeting new and old friends and have some great fishing, too.

I hope that I have enticed you want to make plans join us this spring. If you
are thinking about attending, I will need a preliminary head count by the end
of February, please. I may be reached at Jhunter167 at comcast.net or, my home
phone number is 505-291-9301.  The registration fee for the Rendezvous will be
$80 for IWFF members and $105 for non-members (who get a year’s membership at
that time). This will include two picnic lunches and a group dinner on
Saturday night.
