Fish Washington
Welcome to the 2nd annual “Roslyn Riffle” DIY Fishing Weekend! Hosted by iFishiBelong and Unted Women on the Fly in partnership with Crow Creek Fly Shop and Puget Sound Women on the Fly,
this weekend brings anglers together to explore, learn, connect, and enjoy time on the water. Whether you’re an experienced angler or fishing for the first time, you’re welcome here! Our goal is to create an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
Our DIY format is all about flexibility. Choose what works for you! Think of it as an à la carte fishing weekend. Join us for social fishing, participate in educational opportunities, come to the evening gatherings, or enjoy a little of everything. There’s no need to attend every activity. Build your own experience based on your interests and schedule, with plenty of time to explore and fish on your own.
Plan your weekend your way! Participants arrange their own travel, lodging, and meals. Whether you prefer camping, staying in a cabin or hotel, or hiring a fishing guide, we’ll share resources to help you plan. Visit our WA Travel page for lodging options and local information.
We also know the importance of supporting local and have highlighted local businesses, fishing guides, and community partners who help support the local fishing community. Have questions or need to borrow fishing gear? Contact us at [email protected].

Washington Event Committee
National Women's Fly Fishing Weekend
We intentionally scheduled this event during Women’s Fly Fishing Month and on the weekend of National Women’s Fly Fishing Day. While the event is open to everyone who supports an inclusive fly fishing community, it is designed to celebrate and normalize women owned, women led, and women run spaces both within fly fishing and beyond. A cornerstone of the event is education, featuring hands on learning opportunities led by accomplished women instructors.
Sunday, June 27, 2027, is National Women’s Fly Fishing Day. What better way to celebrate than by participating in three workshops taught by expert women instructors, followed by an evening of great food, community, connection, and the opportunity to make new friends who share a passion for fly fishing and the outdoors?
All Are Welcome
The Washington “Roslyn Riffle” iFishiBelong DIY Fishing Event is open to everyone! These events bring people together through a shared passion for fishing.
Respect and inclusion are at the heart of iFishiBelong. We ask all participants to honor each individual’s identity, make a genuine effort to use their correct pronouns and preferred names, and treat one another with kindness and respect. We recognize that everyone brings unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds to the water.
Our goal is to create a community where everyone feels safe, valued, respected, and empowered to participate fully, regardless of identity, background, experience level, or preferred fishing technique. All fish. All techniques. All people. Everyone belongs on the water.
Do it yourself (DIY) fishing
A DIY (Do It Yourself) Fishing Event means participants take an active role in planning and preparing for their fishing experience. iFishiBelong and our event co-hosts provide curated resources, local information, and essential guidance, but it is each angler’s responsibility to review all event emails, explore the website, and prepare in advance.
These events are non-guided, so anglers are responsible for their own logistics, fishing plans, and on-the-water decisions. We strongly encourage participants to connect ahead of time through the Washington DIY WhatsApp Group to coordinate plans, share tips, and find others to fish with. The more prepared you are, the more confident and rewarding your experience will be.
Hire a Fishing Guide
We recognize that not everyone wants to DIY Fish and may prefer the expertise of a fishing guide. If you need last-minute gear and professional guidance for the weekend, consider supporting local and stopping by Crow Creek. You’ll find everything you need, plus the option to hire a knowledgeable guide to help you make the most of your time on the water.
Puget Sound Women on the Fly
Puget Sound Women on the Fly is a community dedicated to connecting, empowering, and inspiring women anglers in the region. We’re proud to partner with them to create inclusive fishing experiences and support women-led education and events.
Event Volunteers Needed
We’re looking for volunteers to support the 2027 iFishiBelong Washington DIY Fishing Event. Volunteers are a key part of creating a welcoming and inclusive experience for all participants. We’re offering flexible, short shifts (just a few hours) so you can help out and still enjoy time fishing and connecting with the community.
Volunteer opportunities include:
- Check-in & registration
- Education station support
- Event setup & breakdown
- Fishing mentors
- Social media & photography
- General event support
No matter your experience level, there’s a place for you to get involved and make an impact.
If you’re interested, please complete our volunteer form to share your availability and preferred roles. We’ll follow up with more details as your event approaches. The volunteer form can be found HERE.
Safety Policy
Your safety is our priority. We encourage all anglers to take proactive steps to stay safe while enjoying the water. Whenever possible, avoid fishing alone and connect with a fishing buddy through the WA WhatsApp DIY Group before heading out.
For the health and safety of all participants, please stay home if you are feeling unwell or have a contagious illness.
Conditions in the outdoors can change quickly. Be sure to monitor weather forecasts, dress appropriately for the environment, and remain aware of changing water temperatures, river flows, water levels, and overall fishing conditions. Always use good judgment, know your limits, and make safety a priority throughout the event.
Weekend Disclaimer
We aim for a memorable weekend, emphasizing community for everyone present. Educational resources will be available, and connections among anglers will be encouraged. We expect a drama-free setting and clarify that while co-hosts will be around, the weekend is self-guided. Attendees can coordinate fishing plans via the WA DIY WhatsApp Group. This is not an exclusive women’s weekend. Partners, friends, and family are encouraged to join.
