🏆 2026 WI WOMEN FISH CLUB AWARDS 🏆
One of our favorite traditions at Fish Camp is presenting our annual Club Awards.
These awards aren’t necessarily about who caught the biggest fish or who spent the most days on the water. They’re about growth, determination, confidence, friendship, leadership, and giving back.
They’re about the woman who kept learning, asking questions and trying new things. The new member who jumped in with both feet. The person who quietly shows up, helps wherever she’s needed, encourages others and makes this club better simply by being part of it.
In other words…they’re about exactly what we’ve been saying all year:
It’s so much more than fishing. ❤️
