From the peace and quiet of a simple stream to the breathtaking beauty of a high mountain lake, the draw of fly-fishing is its simplicity, technical grace and ultimate adrenaline rush. It is called the quiet sport that, by design, brings you into nature. Horsemanship, the philosophy of working with horses through communication, timing, and feel, inspires many simply based on the natural beauty of the horse and the thrill of riding on their back.

Horsemanship and fly-fishing are so seemingly different and yet so very much alike. Both are detailed, yet vast, simple yet complicated. The key to each is timing, feel communication, and technique. Success in each is defined individually.

Cowgirl Up & Fly ™ brings them together for you in a weekend get-away. Our Women’s Ride & Fly program is geared for the beginner fishermen and the seasoned trail rider.  Now you can experience both and see the magic in each. Small groups makes our Ride & Fly program a relaxing and inspiring weekend.  Bring your horse and yourself and we’ll take care of the rest.
