On April 7–8, 2022, female Garden & Gun readers gathered in Highlands and Cashiers, North Carolina, for the annual Women in the Field: Ladies’ Fly Fishing excursion. The weekend began with a welcome dinner at Highlander Mountain House, followed by guided fly fishing with Brookings Anglers, and a finale cocktail reception—with a special performance by bluegrass fiddler Tim Gardner.
