Welcome to Juliana’s Anglers Sporting Club!!  

We are a women’s fly fishing and sporting club based in the New York City Tri-State area.  
Originally founded in 1995 as a women’s fly-fishing club by Nancy Zakon, and a group of like-minded women who wanted to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere for women to learn to fly fish. JASC has since expanded to include salt water fly fishing, shotgun sports, archery, kayaking, bird-watching, hiking and other outdoor activities. If you are a new or seasoned angler, or simply have a love for the outdoors, we hope you will join this fun-loving, supportive group of women.  

Our greatest joy comes from sharing what we know with other women. In the past 25+ years, we have taught hundreds of women to fly fish, caught and released thousands of fish, fallen into rivers, shot our share of sporting clays, sat around campfires, hit the center of a target with an arrow, laughed, cried, hoisted a glass or two, and simply just enjoyed ourselves. We are a true mix of women from varied backgrounds and life experiences. Every woman 18 years and older who is interested in joining us on our adventures is welcome.

 The club runs in-person trips to local waters and beyond, throughout the year. We also take advantage of the colder months with a variety of virtual lectures, fly-tying sessions, book clubs and Fly Fishing 101 classes.

The Juliana’s is run entirely by its members. Our all-volunteer board supports the club in many ways including planning our events, staffing the school, and encouraging all members to get involved.
