Discover a different way to learn, connect, and grow on the water.

Through the Wade Well Women’s Fly Fishing Schools, retreats, and special events, Lindsay Kocka offers welcoming, curriculum-based instruction and immersive experiences designed specifically for women. Rooted in community, mindfulness, and movement, these gatherings help anglers of all levels build skill and confidence, while also tending to whole-body wellness.

Fly Fishing Schools
Our schools are approachable, low-pressure learning environments that combine hands-on detailed instruction. Based in Bozeman, Montana and in select locations across the U.S., these courses meet you where you are in your angling journey.

Retreats
More than just a fishing trip, Wade Well Retreats are thoughtfully curated adventures that balance skill-building and time on the water with daily mindful movement, mobility sessions, and nourishing meals that celebrate local culture. Expect connection over competition, a slower pace, and space to recharge, all while deepening your fly fishing practice.

Since 2022, Lindsay has designed and led 20+ retreats and schools, always evolving to meet the needs of a growing community of women anglers.
