On The Cover - April 2019

You already know our "cover girl", Margie Anderson (and thanks, John Anderson, for this great photo). She is the ultimate outdoors woman and an expert on fishing, hunting/shooting, hiking, wildlife (including birds), wild flowers, Arizona destinations — you name it. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Margie as a regular contributor.

Besides our appreciation of her knowledge and talent, others have recognized her as well: three times "Outdoor Writer of the Year" from Arizona Game & Fish, and in previous years, she did the outdoor page for the Arizona Republic as well as being the fishing editor for Arizona Hunter & Angler.

So, when this skilled outdoors woman recommends that we ladies get out fishing, she knows what she is talking about. Certainly she applauds men's continuing enjoyment of the sport, but Margie also urges women to join in the popular pastime, perhaps more so than they have in the past.

Gals can enjoy solo fishing, couples' fishing, family fishing — with or without a boat, out of town or in the Valley at community lakes. As Margie says, "Just get out there and do it!". We at Arizona Boating & Watersports/Western Outdoor Times agree and say to the gals: "It's time to cast your lines."
