Ladies Night - Viroqua, WI

When - 06/19/2018
Where - Driftless Angler
106 S Main St, Viroqua, WI 54665
Everyone knows the last ice age flattened the midwest and created all that farmland and the Great Lakes. What you, may not know is the glaciers missed one area. Today, we call that area The Driftless.
The Driftless area (DA) of Wisconsin is home to more public trout water than you can fish in a lifetime. These small meandering streams offer excellent, and sometimes challenging, fishing opportunities. Located in the heart of the DA is a cool town called Viroqua. In addition, this is the home of Athena & Artemis and the Driftless Angler. You know you have heard the buzz and read some of the articles about it. Now is your time to come see the area for yourself and join us.

2008 E Harmony Rd Fort Collins, CO 80528
Founded as a miltary fort in 1864 and referred to as "Camp Collins," Fort Collins is located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, right up against the front range, and provides access to wilderness adventures of all types in the Arapahoe-Roosevelt National Forests.

Ladies Night - Ennis, MT

Where - Willie's Distillery
312 E Main St, Ennis, Montana 59729
Just a bit off the beaten path to Yellowstone National Park, Ennis, Montana is a tiny town in the heart of some of the best fly fishing water in the world. It might not be as easy to get to as Missoula or Bozeman, but its well worth the hairpin turn drive.
There isn't much in this town, but in the spirit of the American West is a small batch distillery which has made its mark. Willie's Distillery is located on the banks of the Madison River. They use fresh mountain water straight from the source to produce "world class spirits for world class indviduals."
You need to join us not only to taste the spirits, but also try to land a trophy trout.
