More Women Fishing In Wisconsin
Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019 -- 11:15 AM
More women are fishing in Wisconsin than ever. It’s a trend the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources would like to see continue.In the last 10 years, the number of women with a fishing license grew by 23%. Nationwide, nearly 4 out of 10 fishers are female.
Every year fisheries biologist Karl Scheidegger produces a calendar that showcases the natural resources of Wisconsin and this year it features women fishing. Wisconsin lakes are filled with more than 150 species of fish.
Kelsey Pickart, who competes with her husband in tournaments, is on the front of the calendar and she recommends women who are on the fence about getting out and starting to fish, to start with a friend or family member.
