Females who fish
 
Hey!
I haven't been on this site for more than a day but I'm just wondering if there are other females around Calgary interested in fishing. I'm finding it almost impossible to meet one and I can't be the only one.

Men aren't good enough eh? That is so sexist! I am outraged! OMG in this day and age! You're setting men back to the stone ages with this oppresive attitude. Shame on you....:scared0015:

On another note, I thought I saw a sign up for an all-girls club in the Fishing Hole awhile back. There was this one as well:

It's more that men who don't want to fish with me because I'm a girl, I've already been rejected a few times for it :(

I'm using a spinning reel rod, not ready for fly fishing yet, trying to learn the ropes first as I'm brand new to fishing but maybe sometime, thanks!

rem338win 05-20-2016 03:42 PM

Weird. My girls go fishing with me all the time.

Stop asking married dudes to go fishing. :)

CK Angler 05-20-2016 04:10 PM

If your on Facebook join Alberta fishing buddies, should be able to find someone to fish with there

Sorry I don't know any fishing lingo, I've basically just been doing my own thing. I bought a simple spinning reel rod combo and just have been using lures, I got a few kinds. I was at Chestermere lake on Tuesday, I was using a spoon but it kept getting stuck on the rocks and I actually ended up losing one.

tifftask55 05-20-2016 05:41 PM

I hear that! I tend to go alone more often than not. Most of the guys I've asked, have agreed to go, then bailed later on. I'm a female beginner fly fisher, but I fish spin cast as well. Im no pro lol but I'm down for new friends... 😊

That's because the secondary brain kicked in reiterating the fact to the primary brain that they are married.

WayneChristie 05-20-2016 06:58 PM

Pm whitefishlady she has other friends that fish too and she knows a lot. I have a couple female fishing buddies that love to fish. One from Rocky one from Strathmore. Latter one fishes in Calgary often or further south in my neighborhood..

I hope you are kidding.

I love having ladies share my fishing time. Sisters, daughters, nieces, nephews, their spouses, my lady friends, their kids, my grand-kids, my co-workers, my neighbors, strangers beginners, experts, spectators, I don't care, I just love having company.

I don't understand not wanting company when fishing.

Growing up, fishing was a family outing, everyone went. It was social time.
What a wonderful way to spend a day, enjoying others company while putting food on the table.

Does it get any better then that!

I just wish there were more people who wanted to go fishing, berry picking, mushroom hunting, mint harvesting ext.

Too many people are too busy to enjoy life these days.

I'm really enjoying fishing, I would do berry picking, not sure about those other two haha. I ended up going alone today and caught my first fish and it was a trout :)

Have you tried taking a selfie with a fish, it's mostly my face and the blurry belly of the fish hahaha.

Too bad you don't live closer.

The other two are about living off the land. It's not just Mint that I harvest, there are a number of other plants I gather for the table. Lambs Quarters for example. They are better then Spinach and very easy to find and gather.
There is also Strawberry Blight, a great trail snack, Rose petals, makes a charming sweet tea, and others.
Fiddle Heads, Rat Root, ext.

We have stocked Trout here but I don't fish for them. I much prefer Pike and Walleye. I used to fish for Cuthroat Trout on the Ram River years ago and Rocky Mountain Whitefish and Grayling but these days I go for the best table fare.

I am thinking of trying for Perch. I know a Lake that is supposed to have lots of them and I do fish it. Very few people even know this lake exists so there is next to no fishing pressure. It has tons of small Pike and apparently a ton of Perch.

Since the limit on Pike is only three, being able to catch Perch would be a great addition to a trip since it is a ways to drive. Two hours for me in fact.

I would be on that Lake tonight if it hadn't snowed, but the trail in is impassible in wet weather.

Okay guys , I'm flattered by alllllll of the messages I recieved ( the one from lost arrow was so dirty I had to take a shower after I read it) but I'm saving myself for Caitlin Jenner. Thanks for the interest though.
