FFi Women Connect
Calendar Photo Contest

Enriching women’s experiences on the water
through learning, sharing, and inspiration

FFi Women Connect invites you to submit your best fly fishing photos—photos taken on the water that capture the spirit of Women Connect and the beauty of fly fishing. Twelve winning photos will be featured in the inaugural 2023 Women Connect Calendar and have a shot at winning some great prizes from our sponsors.

Photos can be of your fly fishing buddies (friends, spouse, kids, pets), fish (big or small), beautiful scenery, and anything else fly fishing related. Please don’t limit yourself to grip-and-grins! We are looking for creative and inspiring photos that tell a story. For March (Take a Kid Fly Fishing month) and June (Women’s Fly Fishing month), we’ll highlight photos that best visually represent those special months. We welcome photos of ALL FISH from ALL WATERS—freshwater and saltwater photos and any species of fish caught and released while fly fishing. Remember to Keep Fish Wet^®. Fish should be in the water, underwater, or dripping wet. See below for examples of photos we hope are submitted.
