#Fishing Like a Girl: From the 10,000 Islands and Beyond (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517736767)

Adventuring near the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico gets a feminine twist in #Fishing Like a Girl, Judy Weston's account of her journeys exploring and fishing the Ten Thousand Islands region of Everglades National Park in Florida.

An accomplished photojournalist whose work has garnered many awards for photography and photo editing from the National Press Photographers Association initially took up fishing because of her husband's passion for it.

But once she found her sea legs, untangled her line from the tree branches from overhead, and dove into the sport, she was hooked.

Weston writes of her adventures in the wild waterways of Chokoloskee Bay, Lostmans River, and a myriad of other stunning untamed places, recounting these experiences with a sense of wonder and immediacy, offering readers the chance to step into the natural world and see for themselves the glories of fish, fowl, and forest.

Peppering the text with thoughtful, intelligent ruminations on conservation and stewardship, Weston demonstrates how women are not only accomplished participants in the world of sport fishing but also vital voices in the conversation about humankind's role in appreciating and protecting nature.
