Not in my neck of the woods.  I see just many Asians, blacks, Hispanics and women fishing as I do white males.

Maybe if the media changed the perception, more minorities would feel empowered to give it a try.  And who on earth said the TV shows MUST adhere to stereotypes anyway?

There is one hosted by women that comes on MAV tv and also versus

This past weekend a buddy (also a member of this forum) and I were loading up his boat to leave and we witnessed two women pulling their boat up to the ramp.  No men anywhere in sight.  My jaw almost dropped to my feet.  I wasn't upset or indignant or anything like that.  To the contrary, I was pleased to see it.  But this sort of thing is so rare for me to witness that I wonder how successful (ratings-wise) a show featuring a woman host would actually be.  I can't speak for Glenn but I wonder how successful this forum/website would be if it relied exclusively on women.  I wish there were more.

Well said.  This might also help dispel the false perception by some that fishing is a sport for rednecks and hicks.

There was a show called "Old Man & Bobber Annie". Really was a good show, Annie knew her stuff, Old Man was a grouchy SOB. After my cable co. kept on dropping channels, and raising the prices, I dropped them. It was a good down to earth, informative show with all types of fishing. I think there is a market for that type of show.

There's a show that does feature a female co-host NAPA's Noth to Alaska with Audrey Bradshaw.

There was a gal with a Canadian show a few years ago. She had plenty of talent and it was one of the better shows. I can't remember her name but it was on a Canadian station that we got when we lived close to the border. I remember a show she did from a lodge on Lady Evelyn lake that was special.

That was Bobber Anne and the old man. Good show, the lady seem to know her stuff, and wasn't full of herself. The old guy seemed like a grouch, always hoped he'd fall in and have to ask her for help. I think there would be a good market for that show, don't know what happened to it, cable removed that channel.

Just realized I answered that question a page ago, must be an old thread. ;D

Pflueger Pro Kim Bain-Moore has a show. Breaking The Surface on the Sportsman's Channel. They are filming their second season right now. She just went on a great Bass Fishing expedition in Mexico.

WFN has a couple shows that may be of interest to you. Can not really remeber any names but one has a segment something "Fisher Girl" and the Shelly and Courtney one. The Pescar something one has a guy who is always taking his niece. Not sure if any are still on as I have not had WFN for about 6 months though. 

I remember when Ron Franklin hosted a fishing show on ESPN and Penny Berryman was always one of the regulars. I met her at a fishing show in Mass one year, doing a seminar. I thought for sure she would have her own show.

What was the name of that show on ESPN?

sportsman challenge?

That's it!

Some years back, there was a fishing show on TNN that featured two women bassers.  I can't for the life of me remember their names or the name of the show, but I do remember they fished out of a Stratos.  One of their first names was Linda, I believe.  It wasn't a bad show at all.

There is a show but I forgot the name of the show. I don't get the channel here

Got a video camera this year. Can't wait to start workin on my own fishing show:p

What a great idea! Maybe start on Youtube or your own website/blog. Bassfish with Basswitch. That's catchy!

Lesley welcome to BR !!!!!!!!!!!

I think the channels are only choosing the smartest business decision. The vast majority of the target audience is men, so if they want to attract that audience they might as well pick hosts that men want to watch

I have seen the Kim Bayne show, I thought it was well done

There was another show featuring a woman who was a professional hunter in Africa. The show featured her hunting and fishing all over the world. I cannot for the life of me remember her name. She was blonde, pretty, and was a heck of a good shot. the show ran for about two seasons.

The sport needs a marketable face before they put a show around someone. Unfortunately, there hasn't been too many women who have had a huge impact or had the personality to carry a show. I am not saying there isn't a lot of qualified women, they just haven't found the right person yet. They would need someone with a personality that could "muck" it up with the guys, talk smack, etc. and be camera friendly. I would watch, heck I have been watching Charlie Moore for Gods sake..........

I liked Kim Bain's show, and better than some out there. (But have Shaw Grigsby as the my favorite)

K. Savik's one of my favorites! I have to say I've given some thought to the whole advertising and women in fishing thing. Both men and women are ambivalent about depictions of women in traditionally male areas, I think. Advertisers know people have emotional responses below the level of their rational mind; for many a woman in a truck "sissifies" the truck. For many a woman holding a rod and reel makes the equipment look less professional, less serious. And forget it if the woman is unattractive or over 50. Sales would totally drop off. Sad but true. Of course, men affect sales of some things negatively too. Picture a guy holding a jar of wrinkle cream if he's unattractive. Guess what I'm saying is that it's not one sex or the other that's to blame, it's a cultural view that changes very slowly. Remember how there were no colored faces in advertising in the 50's? Now we barely think twice.
