During the pandemic, Heidi Lynch explored the world of fishing, leading to a realization about its community-building potential. Captivated by the shared experience of fishing, she created 'Get Hooked,' a documentary series for OUTFlix featuring queer women fishing in Ontario. The series aims to demonstrate how fishing can bridge divides and foster relationships among different demographics, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. Lynch's personal journey highlights the deeper, restorative aspects of this seemingly simple hobby, challenging conventional gender norms and inviting broader participation in outdoor activities.
It was all a very specific kind of northern, white, straight man of a certain age... I felt like I was treading on someone else's territory.
These barriers really do fade away and they have such a common ground, which is this passion for fishing.
Get Hooked, a new, six-part documentary series on LGBTQ+ streaming platform, OUTFlix.
It plonks four queer women into postcard-perfect vistas in Lynch's home city, Ontario, Canada, where they meet with six different expert anglers.
