This rapidly growing female presence proves what we’ve always known about fishing: it’s for anyone and everyone! That is why we’ve pulled together our shortlist of must-haves for an epic girls’ day on the water. From performance apparel to fishing rods to drinkware essentials, this list has everything you need - check it out!
