The 3rd annual WFFC is a woman’s fly fishing tournament for bonefish, redfish, snook & tarpon. The women fished for three days out of the Lorelei and Islamorada Fishing Club. This year the anglers and guides departed from the dock at 7:00 a.m. returning by 5 p.m. in pursuit of the four species. The ladies battled difficult wind conditions during the competition.

Next year permit will be added to the eligible species for the WFFC.
