During my short career as a fisherman( I use the term losely) I had never seen a female angler until yesterday. Remember the scene I described in my hdygo post yesterday well it had another enjoyable aspect.
At around 3.00 pm as we all sat shivering on the water and donning every available extra layer of clothing we had available, a small Citroen C1 pulled up driven by an attractive blonde women of around 40 and her husband/partner/boyfriend. Out of its tardis like interior they removed a large rucksack, two chairs and an enormous 6ft rod hold-all and made their way to the bank alongside the two comics I described. I could still hear their comments but all profanities had ceased.
The lady was dressed in a short sleeved blouse, blue jeans and black thigh waders. I had never thought of waders as alluring but in her case I will make an exception
She looked stunning and showed of her considerable female attributes with little difficulty as she sauntered delightfully around the lake. I noticed that all the usual fishing activity of casting and retrieving had ceasedI thought she would freeze to death and so did the comics. She set up her chair and planted her rod sticks in the ground about 20 ft apart( her partner adroitly repositioned them) ans sat down. She then donned a pullover and over the next half hour , a scarf, then a large anorak and finally a Russian type fur hat! Naturally and in the manner of fishing clothing all signs of feminine form and beauty was now gone and she looked like your average bloke!
Her partner set her up with a feeder rod and he set up a waggler rod. He showed how to cast which she performed with some aplomb . They swapped rods and he helped her land a small fish when the float disappeared. She was naturally delighted and proceeded to jump up and down telling anyone who would listed that she had just caught her first fish! It was a very pleasing moment and demonstrated that our sport does no require bruteforce and ignorance!
I cannot remember all the quips from the comics but " what a waggler" I'd let her handle my rod" and " if the wife looked like that I'd take her fishin" give you a flavour of the comments which she must have heard.
Let us have more of the fairer sex I say
