The Woman Angler & Adventurer — NPAA

If you are a guide, have a friend who guides, or enjoy hiring guides, this is a must-listen episode! This week you get to me, the lady behind two essential tools to help support anyone who guides, Mollie Simpkins.

There is little support, as most guides are considered independent contractors. While the lifestyle may sound like a dream job to many, there are a lot of challenges, including long days in the elements, dealing with different personalities, pressure to put clients on fish, and much more.

Welcome to our 2nd episode in a short series we've put together to emphasize the importance of introducing someone new to the sport of fishing. This week we have a conversation with Pat Neu, director of The Future Angler Foundation. FAF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization formed in April of 2012 by a group of anglers dedicated to helping grow the sport of fishing through education and outreach. 

When you think of organizations like FAF, you often immediately think of kids and yes, that is a big part of it. Pat is quick to point out it is called The Future Angler Foundation for a reason. Their goal is to reach potential new anglers of all ages, race, and gender to the sport of fishing and educate them on how to catch fish and protect the resource. This educational component is critical for the future of the sport.
