Fly Fishing with Jen Ripple

Fisherwomen

This week I speak with Jen Ripple, founder and editor-in-chief of DUN magazine, about what brought her to flyfishing and why she decided to found the first flyfishing magazine for women. You can subscribe to DUN here: https://dunmagazine.com/ This episode marks the first in a series on flyfishing. I’ll be learning to flyfish this season and I invite you to join me! Follow fisherwomen on social media to stay up to date with the flyfishing journey! The creature feature this week comes from Marshall Phan and is on the Scaly Foot Snail. References for today’s creature feature are listed below. Credits: Thank you to Rick Pope for allowing use of the great photo of Jen with a Jack Crevalle. Theme mixed by me, using sounds sourced from sfxgo, orangefreesound, and freesound. Please see website for full credits.
