As President of DWF, I never imagined having to report the death of my dear friend Carol. She was instrumental in the development of DWF and was “funny as hell”. We talked/texted most morning and I loved her so much.

Here is a story about the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman in Wisconsin (BOW) program. Driftless Women on the Fly members, Suz Jester and Celia Groff, help teach fly fishing and fly tying at BOW. BOW programming offers a wonderful environment for developing your skills and comfort in the outdoors.

Peggy Farrell, director of the local Becoming an Outdoors Woman program, has seen firsthand how transformational the program can be. In an interview with WPR's Shereen Siewert on "Morning Edition," Farrell said some women say that the program changed their lives.
