come fishing with us!
Do you enjoy fishing, but find it hard to round up good company? Maybe you used to fish as a kid, but haven’t picked up a rod in a while. Come find me at a fun Femme Fishing event!
Femme Fishing is a pop-up fishing clinic, open to all but especially tailored to women, femme, and gender-expansive individuals looking for a relaxed learning atmosphere. My co-conspirator and I work together with our park networks to bring free fishing to folks who want to try a new (or rusty) skill in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. We’ll provide the equipment and the know-how, but feel free to bring yours if you have it!
Our events typically take place in waterfront parks around the city, from Prospect Park Lake to the shores of Battery Park City and East River Park. Want to collab with us? Reach out!
