In recent years, recreational fishing has become a popular activity among women of all ages. According to a recent survey, the number of female anglers has increased by 20% since 2010, and this number is continuing to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many women are drawn to fishing because it offers a chance to connect with nature and spend time outdoors. It’s also a great way to relax and unwind from work and home life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women are also finding a sense of community through fishing. There are now many female fishing groups and clubs, offering support, encouragement, and camaraderie. These groups provide a safe and welcoming environment for women to learn and share their passion for fishing. The “Women in Rec Fishing Fishing Network” is thriving, with the group hosting fishing events throughout Victoria. The regular events have partnered with major fishing brands and retail stores and offer guest speakers, advice and a chance to stories about the ladies latest catch, or the one that got away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Female recreational fishers are now targeting fishing competitions, and are encouraging other ladies to join them. Nikki Bryant, who regularly posts her latest catches and fishing adventures on her popular social media pages, loves the challenge of fishing against the male competitors. ‘The events are female friendly, and I find the other anglers are encouraging of all female competitors and want more of us to get involved. Our goal is to have an all female team at some stage.’ <\/p>\n\n\n
