fisherwoman
She catches fish
A fisherwoman is a woman who fishes, whether commercially or recreationally.
The term parallels fisherman but specifies female gender: The fisherwoman hauled in her nets at dawn.
Some prefer the gender-neutral fisher, though fisherwoman remains common when the person's sex is relevant or known.
