TakeMeFishing x Teen Vogue

Fishing is a powerful activity that boosts women’s confidence. Our research shows that women who fish gain greater grit, self-esteem, patience, happiness, perseverance, health, and life satisfaction. TakeMeFishing partnered with Teen Vogue, fashion brand Rentrayage, and designer Ahmrii Johnson to create the Second Catch Collection. These garments were made from donated clothes by the TakeMeFishing community and reimagined to inspire women to hit the water with confidence and style.
