JustNorth Welcomes Outdoors Women
|
 Glancing around the campfire more often than not you'll see more males than females sharing each other's company and love of the outdoors. Why? A variety of barriers prevent women from participating in outdoor recreation, but typically they were not given an opportunity to learn outdoor skills as girls or young adults.
Our goal is to provide an atmosphere where women feel comfortable learning new skills associated with hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Enjoy the Experience!

 |
JustNorth is seeking women community members to contribute to the future of outdoor activities. If you feel that you can contribute articles, how-to tips, or would like to form a member group that would help young women gain knowledge and participate in outdoor activities, contact Justin Anderson or Danielle DeVito. |

| The afternoon of June 25th was different from most. When the family decided to venture out to Mille Lacs for an early summer walleye trip, Julia was anxious to try out her new rod and reel. Early in the afternoon, while the bite was just warming up, Julia asked “what would it feel like if I have a big one bite?” Dad assured, “You’ll know when you have a big one take it.” A few moments later, her eyes grew wide as saucers and she realized what that feeling was like. Julia managed to say, “I’m feeling a tug, tug, Dad; I think I got one. You better get the net.” Ten minutes later, as the fish came to the boat; it wasn’t Julia’s eyes that widened but rather her Dad’s. After landing the monster and taking a few quick pictures, Julia urged “We better let it go, Dad”, and after a few minutes of reviving the big fish disappeared into the depths.
While recanting the miraculous experience with Julia’s grandfather sitting in the front of the boat, Dad was interrupted by a voice saying “Uh, Dad, here we go again, I think I have another one.” Sure enough, the young angler had tied into another trophy. After another exciting battle, Julia was once again posing with a trophy. After a quick release, Julia asked, “Dad, can girls be fishing guides too?” With her fathers confirmation, she added, “I think that’s what I want to do when I grow up.” |

| Julia is now seven and has been a fishing fanatic just like her dad since she was old enough to hold a rod. Her grandparents roll their eyes at dad because the "little girl" can identify virtually every species of sport fish in Minnesota. Keep an eye on her folks, with her dad's help, she just may be a future tournament angler. |
