I have always thought of a calendar as just another temporal tool to help us schedule our daily lives. That is until I saw The Reel Women of Fishing calendar.

Each month has a portrait of an angler from our global fishing community. The fish are beautiful. The anglers are exemplary and their stories are inspiring. For example, there is a brown trout by Eleonora “Eli” Troksberg from Argentina; a rainbow trout by Lucy Bowden from the United Kingdom; a striped bass by Elizabeth Schmitt from New York; an 82 lb cobia by Dr. Julie Ball from Virginia; and a 200 lb bluefin tuna by Allison Miles from Massachusetts.

The Reel Women of Fishing calendar is a great holiday gift.  It’s only $14.99.  If you order before 01-JAN-2011, you get a 10% discount.  Just enter “GOPOGY33“ during checkout.  Now that’s fishconomic!

The proceeds benefit a brave child who is fighting leukemia.  My cousin lost his battle against Leukemia at 21 years of age.  He was built like a brick house.  I cannot image a young child.
