From the 4th to the 10th of July, History will be made in Rendalen Norway when the best female fly anglers from around the world compete in the first ever Fips Mouche World Ladies Fly Fishing Championships. Australia will field and incredibly strong team at this momentous event, and their strength lies in no small part to the experience and expertise of their team captain, Karen Brooks. Karen is one of Australia’s most accomplished fly anglers. A certified casting instructor and graduate of the Montana Fly Fishing school, Karen has spent over twenty years honing her talents around Australia and the world. You may even have seen Karen’s phot on the cover shot of the Meander River brochure published by Tassie’s inland fisheries. Along with her husband Peter, she is head guide at Driftwater in Tasmania, and when not guiding, she is mixing it with Australia’s best competition anglers in competitions around the country. She’s been on a hot run of late, with top 10 finishes in her last 3 competitions, including a 10th place finish at the recent National Championships in Victoria. With so much experience and expertise to share, we are super excited about the opportunity to chat to Karen on the pod.
