Gear, tactics, travel and more from the female angler’s perspective.
Inshore fishing tackle might be considered fairly gender neutral, but what about offshore tackle or freshwater tackle? Cindy Nguyen, a Texas saltwater angler and influencer, and Macy Watkins, a Georgia freshwater fisherman, talk gear with executive editor Chris Woodward. We also answer the questions: Should the tackle industry consider making women’s rods and reels? And, what might help more women continue fishing as well as buying and using their own tackle?
Welcome to a page dedicated to women anglers, curated by our female executive editor, Chris Woodward. Chris grew up fishing in Florida, and has spent the last 30 years as an outdoors editor. In her experience, fishing offers more than just a tale and some bragging rights. It brings with it — particularly for women — feelings of appreciation and a deeper connection to others and to the natural world.
