Get The Girls Together To Go Fishing!
One obstacle that stands in the way of women going fishing is that few of them own boats. The solution is to find good places to fish where you can get to the bank or out on a pier.
Fishing can be a great social event as well outdoor fun. A peaceful day of fishing can forge and strengthen the bonds of friendship between women who love the outdoors.
Many state wildlife and fisheries agencies have created wonderful places for fishing that are family- and women-friendly. By stocking ponds and lakes with desirable game fish, they-ve established fisheries for species such as bass (both largemouth and smallmouth), panfish, catfish, and other species.Didn-t catch that? This explains it.
Many of these stocked fisheries are smaller ponds with good bank access; often, state agencies have enhanced the access with piers and “fishing fingers’ of land that protrude into the water and provide a lot of access in a small area. Many of these ponds are associated with state or county parks with picnic areas and shelters.
Nor have these agencies forgotten anglers who live in cities. Through urban ponds programs, many states now have stocked ponds within the city limits of major urban areas where women can go and take their kids for an afternoon of family fishing.
OK, with all of that said.why don-t you organize a “fishing day’ for a group of your friends? Pick one of these agency sites in your area and make it a “girlfriends only’ event with a potluck lunch. This kind of day is a good time to invite some friends who don-t fish but who have expressed an interest in going with you and learning. It-s a good way to show them that fishing isn-t just a male event but can be a relaxing and bonding getaway for women.
