RODS & REELS SPORTFISHING ADVENTURES

Women & Sportfishing

The all female team at Rods & Reels Sportfishing are extremely enthusiastic about the opportunities for women anglers in Guatemala and would love to share their passion for this unique destination. Their invaluable insight into the exceptional places to visit will further enhance your trip.

Here are our findings on Women and Sportfishing:

Women are the fastest growing sector of the sportfishing industry. Their participation has been a significant factor in the overall rise of all business and tourism linked to Sportfishing. The American Sportfishing Association’s findings include the fact that one third of all anglers are women and these are better represented in saltwater than freshwater. Numbers of women fishing each year have been put at 15 million, many of these avid experts who are often more adept than their male counterparts! Captains and instructors have been known to comment on the skill of women, particularly learners, and this has been attributed to their capacity to actively listen and obey simple and clear instructions!

Guatemala provides an almost unequalled opportunity for both the novice and the adept woman angler. This is attributable to the high concentration of billfish and therefore the comparatively high number of daily raises. For the beginner there is the prospect for rapid improvement in both skills and knowledge. Proficient anglers have the chance to break personal records or even world records.
