Here’s the story: Sisters on the Fly was started by two real-life sisters, Maurrie Sussman and Becky Clarke, who loved fly fishing, camping in their vintage trailers, a glass of good wine, campfire cooking, and playing poker for pennies. They invited their friends to join them and soon there were 20. Pretty soon there were 100. “When we started, we wanted to bring women together as best friends and sisters of the heart,” says Maurrie.
And...just like that…it is 25 years later and there are more than 24,000 Sisters on the Fly—in nearly every city and town in the U.S., in Canada, and in far-flung places like Australia, England, France and Italy. “So, we’re never alone when we’re traveling solo,” says Maurrie. “There’s always a Sister we can call when we’re in need…or just to connect over a cup of coffee or a home-cooked meal.”
Maurrie (Sister #1) and I (Sister #1322) sat down at my kitchen table to have a conversation. You can listen in.
And here’s a great deal: Maurrie has signed the last remining SOTF 25th Anniversary Mooks (a cross between a magazine and a book) and is offering them FREE—you only pay for postage which should be somewhere around $6.

Yes, I know it says $18.95 (The original price) but I’ve clicked on the link and see that this price is subtracted at check-out—so only the postage remains.
