Fly fishers Karen Brooks and Jules Stevens know what it's like to put catching a fish before everything else.

"There's this drive that comes — you just want to get that fish," Ms Brooks says.

"You do just about anything to land that fish, and in a competition it's most important that you keep that fish on," Ms Stevens adds.
 

The women form part of the Australian team that will compete in the first-ever world fly fishing championships for women, which will be held in Norway in June.

They will compete against teams from 10 other countries, including Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, the United States and South Africa.

"Some have been competing for many years in men's competitions, in open competitions, so they're very skilled," Ms Brooks says.
