As a result, go after these fish with stonefly, caddis and a variety of mayfly patterns. The dry fly hatches in western Montana are to die for. They can survive in some difficult places, so keep that in mind as you target them. I’ve caught lots of brown trout upwards of 23 inches in these waters.īrown trout are some of the heartiest trout on the planet. The Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone and Jefferson rivers all hold these fish. Brown Troutīrown trout are some of the most popular fish you’ll find near Bozeman. The trout populations are extremely healthy, and the different fish you can target make it even more exciting. The waters surrounding Bozeman give anglers the chance to catch fish they couldn’t catch anywhere else in the world. Bozeman gives you the chance at any sort of outdoor activity you could ever want. You can bring your family, sneak away for a day trip, and land some trophy trout. If you need a break from the water, there’s an ample amount of restaurants and sightseeing you can do. I’ve been back four times and have fished new water every single time. The wonderful accommodations, breathtaking scenery and top-notch fishing make it difficult to avoid.
I made my first visit to Bozeman five years ago and make an effort to return on a yearly basis. Please see our Privacy Page for more information. As the date draws closer, a team of incredible lady anglers are highly motivated to make this year an epic celebration of women who fly fish.Disclaimer: is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The River’s Edge and SIMMS Fishing Products would like to invite all women anglers, near and far, to attend this year’s Chica de Mayo. Call it fortuitous or call it random, but the 11th Annual Chica de Mayo falls on May 11th this year! We have come a long way!Ĭhica de Mayo is pulled off on a small budget, a testimony to what creative planning, industry support, and generous community donors can build. This kind of support from participants is incredible, especially when I look back on our early years of fundraising to give back to our community. Last year’s dollar amount raised at Chica de Mayo provided the River’s Edge the opportunity to join SIMMS as a Casting for Recovery National Sponsor. All of the money raised will be applied directly toward providing healing fly fishing experiences for women with breast cancer. "The outpouring of love and support from SIMMS, The River's Edge, and the women's' fly fishing community at this event is so incredible. "We're so pumped to be the charity partner of Chica de Mayo," said Whitney Milhoan, Executive Director of Casting for Recovery. I am hopeful for continued support this year to allow us to keep improving the overall experience for ladies. Their generous support, along with our 50+ industry and community donors, helped offset event expenses, which allowed us to make the 10th Annual Chica de Mayo the best one yet. Speaking of funding, 2018 was the first year we were able to secure outside sponsorships from two amazing Bozeman organizations - Madison-Gallatin Trout Unlimited and Yellow Dog Community and Conservation Foundation. I honestly think we could turn Chica de Mayo into a weekend event - with a lot more space and funding of course (insert hinting laugh). This format has accommodated our participants and allowed us to amp up our education component.
In 2016, we shifted Chica de Mayo to a Saturday afternoon four-hour format, and moved it out to the larger River’s Edge – West location. However, as more and more women continued to show up and bring their friends, we realized we needed to change the event format. When we first held this event in 2009, we hoped for maybe 20 to 30 women to attend … 60 women showed up! In the early years, Chica de Mayo was held on a Thursday night for a two-hour timeframe at the fly shop. The upcoming 2019 event will mark the 11th Annual Chica de Mayo – a labor of love and cause to celebrate.
Each year in early May, The River’s Edge and SIMMS Fishing Products host a women’s fly-fishing event in Bozeman – Chica de Mayo, an annual gathering that has evolved into the largest women’s fly-fishing event in Montana, the United States, and well, probably in the world! This event celebrates women in fly-fishing and offers educational clinics, phenomenal speakers, prizes, a cocktail party and networking, and much more.
