Women are often claimed by fishermen at the water's edge
However, in spite of everything, the feeling in the field is sometimes divided. Men are divided between pride in seeing their wives, girlfriends or sisters succeed in a fishing session, and their ego for not having been better.
This is generally what emerges from the feedback of women anglers, whether in leisure or in competitions. However, women mixed with this male environment, often have the objective to succeed in beating them.
So don't worry gentlemen, you are still the first reference. But beware all the same !!!
Depending on the fishing techniques and the seasons, it is more or less possible to compete. Muscular strength, physical capacity, the law of nature sometimes prevents us from being able to go for the victory or victories. It is therefore necessary either to use one's charm, or to be strategic on the fishing approaches.
Different assets
Women are more diligent. And that often makes a difference. A better preparation, installation and a more square approach are specific to the female gender.
Female anglers are regularly on the lookout for the little detail. Details that make men smile, "Ah, you're not a girl for nothing!", but that work.
For all ages
Many young girls are interested in fishing. More and more of them are enrolling in fishing schools and leisure centers.
At the same time, more and more retired women are taking up fishing again. Most of the time, already passionate when they were young, they resume their fishing practice, once they are free of children and work.
Other women, accompanying their spouse or friends, discover this leisure activity. Through family moments, with the famous cliché of the woman who takes care of the children and the picnic. But also with the desire and curiosity to try fishing. This curiosity that begins with the desire to reel in a rod, then to catch a fish. Then comes the photo with the fish, and the desire to do everything by oneself, sometimes with the apprehension, the fear, or the prejudices of a sport which is rather masculine.
You'll always hear the smirking comment, "I'm not going to get beat up by a woman!" Ladies, prove them right.
A place by the water
An advice, go for it and dare! In fishing competitions and various championships, women regularly dominate. World and national titles have been won by women to the same extent as men.
Titles that are less highlighted in the media, but clearly more valued under the applause in the end.
Women absolutely have their place at the water's edge! The luck of each one will smile with the success of beautiful fishes, beautiful stuffing, or victories. Enjoy then the encouragement and congratulations.
Whatever the case, let's remain humble. Let's continue to share and pass on this passion to women, big and small.
