Founded by Linda Leary, Fishe Wear is a women’s clothing brand designed to provide female anglers with fun and functional gear. Living in Alaska, it’s easy for Leary to miss out on what else is happening in the sportfishing industry.  

ASA allows Leary and Fishe Wear to build important connections with others in the fishing space through events like the ICAST trade show and the Sportfishing Summit. 

“It’s really important to get out, talk to people, meet other movers in the industry and stay involved,” Leary said.
