Women on Water is a forum for women who fish on shore, or from kayaks or boats, AND its for those who WANT TO FISH or want to try it, but may not have had an opportunity. Women on Water covers freshwater and salt, and it includes rod'n'reel and flyfishing. It is a place to discuss issues unique to women in regards to anything water. If you're a seasoned fisherwoman, come share with us, and if you're brand new, we can plan trips to learn about boats or shopping excursions to pick out beginner gear. Love your 'stitch and bitch' night? We can tie flies to donate to Casting for Recovery!

There are two areas of this forum. This one that you are reading is semi-public, meaning that verified women members can start new topics, and anyone else can reply. It is for posts meant for the wider audience that includes the men here. The other area is private. It is a place among the fishing forums to discuss more delicate matters, or to vent issues, ask for more personal or female-related advice, or anything that you might not want to share with everyone.

To access the private area of the forum, the only requirement is that you MUST BE FEMALE and have a sincere interest in fishing or kayaking. Send a message to SeaWitch requesting permission to the Women on Water private forum. Proof of gender will be required in some form and will likely be assessed on a case-by-case basis - meaning that for some, you might have someone here to vouch for you, while others might need some other form of verification. We will do the best we can without being intrusive.

Ladies, hope to hear from you soon, and don't be shy! Gents, we welcome your comments, stories, and advice on the shared Women on Water forum.

Welcome!
