To create this sweeping story of the role of women in sport fishing today, the author sought out a wide range of female anglers, individuals from age 20 to 90, from the Florida Keys all the way to Alaska. They fish for nearly every species that swims in freshwater and salt. They fish with lures and flies and bait. They fish out of multi-million-dollar sport-fishing yachts and out of kayaks, off piers and beaches. All are passionate about their favorite outdoor sport. Their personal stories are fascinating. Their commitment to wild fisheries and resource conservation for the future is inspiring.
