   WHO WE ARE

The Genuine Able Woman

It’s news to no one that society imposes values and expectations on women that are rarely more than skin deep. All too often, we are judged by our outer, superficial selves, and our real beauty – that which lies within us – goes unnoticed. Even though we intuitively know our real value and the beauty of our inner spirit, the weight of it all can sometimes make even the strongest of us weary. And that’s where Able Women comes in.


Able Women's mission is to connect women to the healing power of water inspired by a personally defined relationship with fly fishing. Fly fishing teaches independence, strength, and creativity. It is a sport very much defined by grace. And who understands grace better than a woman? Fly fishing binds us to astoundingly beautiful creatures that live in remarkably beautiful places. And fly fishing binds us – perhaps most importantly of all – to our inner, most beautiful selves.


Able Women is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) Colorado non-profit organization. All proceeds go to the Able Women Foundation, Inc.
