I used to commercial fish salmon in AK. We’d listen to the radio for season updates, fish counts and openings and closings etc. My first year (late 90s), ADFG referred to (what used to be “fishermen”) as “fishers” in the announcements. At the time it was to curb the implication that women didn’t fish, which they absofuckinglutey do. Seemed reasonable enough to me, why does it have to be so hard ? Fisherthem? Lol ok I guess, I like fisher for those of us that identify as the animals we all are.
