Agreed Kevin, if my wife were to go fly fishing, preparation and dressing, makeup etc.. We'd have to start a day ahead of time!I'm not worried about her becoming interested in fly fishing and finding out how much I spend. I'm more worried about her getting in to it and my having to spend 3 times as much as I spend now. She requires way more maintenance than me and is more into style and pizzaz. No more bargain basement stuff. And it would cut drastically in to my fishing time. She takes up to 3 hours just to get ready to go to Walmart. I can't imagine how long it would take her to get ready to go on the river and look good enough for pictures. Then there's the fish. The poor fish. Catch & Release would take on a whole new meaning. By the time I take 4 or 5 shots, let her come look at them and critique, then go take 4 or 5 more, check, 4 or 5 more, check, 4 or 5 more (you know, until that dang piece of hair will stay put or that cloud goes by so the lighting is perfect, etc, etc, etc.) the fish will definitely be sun dried and stiff by then. O **** would probably turn its nose up to it.
Why on earth would that **** you off? 90% of all fishing trips are in reality already men only
I agree with you 100% as I always have the same thought when I see women only programs whatever they might be.
That's because the publication is about the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic areas. Notice that after the six, "Beyond the Blue Ridge", are a couple of westerners.
You’d get “woman” posting with very similar responses to the one you did... there are small numbers with outdated views in both sexes...
My daughter is looking at purchasing her own woman-specific waders from Patagonia (they do exist, apparently). If she does that, it will show a commitment to fly fishing that has nothing to do with her being a woman being encouraged into the sport, but has everything to do with a parent wanting to share some special time with his kids, and they got hooked (pun intended). The gender of the child is irrelevant. Heck, my daughters are also hockey players, for what that's worth. They tried something, they liked it, so they did it. It wasn't for boys or for girls, it was for fun.I have a problem with more women fly fishing. There are already too many people on the streams!
Women usually keep their fly fishing habit quiet as they don't want to embarrass the men who think they are the only ones out there. Just kidding everyone. I don't care who all fishes. I will share with anyone. Besides I wear enough sunblocking buffs and other junk, no one could tell what sex the person is under all that junk.
My real peeve is that all of the equipment is designed for men. No women sized waders ever hit the sales racks! If they exist at all. And heaven forbid not in pink!
Hey Cindy, they are not in pink but Orvis has women's silver sonic waders on sale ($100 off)I have a problem with more women fly fishing. There are already too many people on the streams!
