Women in Angling

[anthony2carr]

maybe fishing in drag is the new way to go

hows that been working out for you?

Not as well as you Mark! your lucky thong got you onto the Irish team

Ladies be nice please.

Maybe there are women in fishing after all.

[wayne riley]

TRue. Salmon fishing very popular with the laydeez in northern california (well, it was until it was stopped last year):

And here's the solution:

http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/Miscellaneo ... gling.html

It would be tempting to seek an explanation in the popular notion that the different conditioning of the sexes by parents, schools and society as a whole is what influences their differing styles of life and personal interests at later ages. Even if these traditional ‘boy’ and ‘girl’ roles remained relevant today, such a simplistic explanation would still not account for the recruitment of women anglers later in life.

Apparently there's a working group in the UK and something called "Working Together for Women and Girls in Angling: Joint Governing Bodies of Angling Gender Equity Plan":

http://www.first-nature.com/dreamstreams/ds16.htm

Seems there is a funding angle too. Interesting.

Sport England will not fund a sport whose opportunities are inequitable.
Why? Because Sport England's money is public money, provided by the tax payer to improve quality of life for all citizens of England. For this reason it is important that sporting opportunities are equitable.

Now, who wants to show Nell McCafferty how to pendulum cast?

That million dollar lure might change things

well lads i don't want to burst your bubble BUT the biggest Salmon ever caught was by a woman

Whenever i fish with my daughter we fish identical gear and bait she ALWAYS catches more than i do

My Partner is a long standing member of the sea angling community in Cobh with International wins to her name and i DARE any man to out catch her............... I have tried and only did so by 10 pts after 4 days of boat fishing

All joking aside i really do think that these women's fermions have an effect on the fish

Even Petek pretended he was sick just so he would not have to fish against her

Danny, you are the biggest woman in angling I know mate....

[anthony2carr]

I can see it now.

A new line of fishing clothes by dolce and gabanna.
Look good when catching those fish with the new GUCCI line of steeltoe boots.

Then there would be the bitching. "Did you see her.That floatation suit so didn't go with those boots!!"

[kstaff]

That's a Photoshop job on that Salmon I'd say, she's going to cook and clean it for your man alright but she didn't catch it!

Women in fishing, worse than the netters!

All of the above comments are not serious!

[uvox]

If I remember correctly, in the Veals catalogue, there are women modeling waders already ....

Sandy should have demanded a stewards enquiry into that result definitely

Danny,

more like she will try to run away with me or is it run away from you YOU WILL SEE

Sea angling (especially from the shore) must have one of the worst gender balances of all sports in Ireland. This is a bad thing. But why aren't there more women out there? Hunting, golfing, even shooting appear to have more women participants. I'd say the balance is higher amongst fly-fishing community, but I don't get the sea-angling situation.

Any ideas?

(first person to make the joke about the size of their tackle will receive a copy of the painting of the nude Nell McCafferty)

women can get lessons and rent equipment for golf and all the rest. fishing is a expensive hobby to start into and to once you start it gets more and more expensive rods ,rod rest floatation suite and a endless amount of lures and hooks and fany line as we all know and i do not know of any one giving fishing lessons
well my better half comes fishing with regular and its great she makes me feel like a real fisherman
she has no hassle with fish or bait

[gfkelly1969]

my wife started fishing this year and learned very quick,she has no problem handling bait or fish,now she often get more fish then i do
