The mission of the Chesapeake Women Anglers (CWA) is to be a premier fly fishing club, serving Chesapeake Bay Watershed, dedicated to promoting fly fishing for women through education, outings and environmental awareness. Chesapeake Women Anglers has membership on the greater Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and South Central Pennsylvania areas.  The club was started ten years ago by Sarah Gardner and Carol Stevenson, two highly accomplished women in the sport, and it offers a place where women can learn the sport and art of fly fishing from basic techniques to advanced skills. Chesapeake Women Anglers (CWA) has embraced Casting for Recovery as a cause close to their heart, and May 2007 the sixth annual CWA/CFR retreat was held at Orkney Springs, Virginia. The CWA/CFR retreat is made possible each year through the strong support from members of CWA and generous donations from individuals, businesses and organizations in the Mid-Atlantic area.
