If you haven’t seen the April issue of Fishing Tackle Retailer, it has a theme: Women in Fishing. On some level, it seems a shame that such a thing could serve as a theme for our industry’s trade publication. Women represent half of the world’s population — a little more than half by some estimates. When you give a magazine a theme, you’re essentially saying, “Hey, here’s a topic that deserves more attention than it’s currently getting.”So it is for women in fishing.

I wish I could tell you that all you have to do is click on www.getmorewomeninvolvedinsportfishing.com and you’ll be well on your way to increasing their numbers and improving your bottom line, but it’s not so. There are no easy answers and, like too many things in this industry, you and I are largely on our own when it comes to making things happen.

And that’s OK. It’s always been that way … and probably always will be. But we still need answers, and we still need to work to find a solution.
