Meet our guides!

Did you know that a few of our members own and/or operate their own guide service? Each of our guides offer a unique experience and excel at the services they provide. WI Women Fish supports all members to help them achieve their fishing goals. Whether that goal is to catch a new personal best, learn to drive a boat, or obtain your Captain’s license, we’ve got your back and are here to support you all the way! Some of these ladies credit that support to gaining the confidence needed to follow their dreams.
