It so happened that fishing is considered a male occupation. However, the realities of modern life are such that the fair sex is also not averse to go to the pond, sit on the shore with a fishing rod in her hands. So that this lesson does not cause difficulties, it is worth choosing certain fishing methods for a woman fishing. They do not require significant physical strength when fishing fish. This is exactly what is needed in this case. What kind of fishing is suitable for the fair sex will be discussed later.
Purely male occupation?
It is not known why the reputation of a purely male occupation entrenched in fishing. Perhaps this has been the case since prehistoric times, when a man played the role of a breadwinner, and a woman sat at home, guarding the hearth. However, this activity is inherently not something difficult or inaccessible to a woman.
Another thing is that before the fair sex considered fishing from a purely practical side and did it exclusively for the sake of catch, closer to home, in their free time. And it is known that a woman has much less than a man. That is why in villages or in the city, where a river or a pond is near the house, a girl with a fishing rod can be met much more often than in those places where you need to get by car or train.
It is worth noting that gender differences do not affect fishing tendencies. Many girls enjoyed fishing with their fathers or grandfathers and stopped doing this only when they became adults, because they simply did not have time for this hobby. Now, however, this situation is gradually changing. More and more women began to consider fishing as an interesting hobby with many attractive properties.
Fishing benefits
Fishing, as a type of outdoor activity, allows a woman to keep herself in shape. Hiking in the fresh air contributes to the healing of the body as a whole. The positive emotions that arise at the time of a successful bite serve the same purpose. The excitement and joy of the caught fish will help the girl develop psychological resistance to stress and the frantic rhythm of modern life.
A fishing woman can also allow herself to relax and unwind while watching the float. This activity is akin to meditation. And when there is fresh air and wonderful nature around, the effect of such relaxation will be the most positive.
Fishing and hunting for a woman can be considered as a sport. Work "on the result" serves as a means of self-expression and self-esteem for her. This has the best effect on the physical and mental state.
When a man and a woman spend a lot of time fishing together, this has a positive effect on the relationship. The commonality of interests helps couples to maintain the bonds of marriage, makes them stronger. Well, if this hobby unites those who have not tied themselves up with such ties, it will help to get closer, strengthen mutual attraction and understanding of the partner. Needless to say that lonely beautiful women on fishing always have a chance to meet their fiancé there?
Popular female types of fishing
Among a wide variety of fishing species, women in Russia prefer fishing with float tackle, donkey or spinning. This is due to the features of such gear.
Catching the float tackle is suitable for those women who dream of relaxing, taking a break from the hustle, and slowly enjoying the beauty of nature. It doesn’t matter that you cannot catch large fish in this way. Feelings when biting and playing fish are already able to bring a lot of positive emotions.
This tackle is especially good for beginner anglers. It is lightweight, inexpensive, suitable for use on any water body and does not require any special skills. The main thing in this case is to learn how to attach the bait to the hook and correctly cast the fishing rod.
By the way, float tackle involves the use of vegetable baits - dough, bread, peas, barley and other cereals, which is especially appreciated by women. Indeed, not every representative of the fairer sex will want to deal with a worm or maggot.
Donkey fishing
This type of fishing, like the previous one, allows you to relax, gives you the opportunity to admire the beauties of nature, since a bell will signal a bite. Donka is not much heavier than a fishing rod and is easy to handle. It is important to learn how to cast it correctly.
Here a man who teaches a woman fishing tricks can come to the rescue. It can also help with bait, because in this case it is better to use a maggot or a worm.
But even larger fish can be caught. However, if a woman got out fishing, then she is strong enough in spirit to overcome these difficulties.
Spinning
This is a type of fishing for the most active and advanced ladies. It requires certain experience, skills. As well as pre-training. To fish with a spinning rod, you need to have and, most importantly, be able to use a variety of devices, understand the attachments, know the different ways to attract the attention of a potential catch and be able to carry them out in practice.
Fishing with spinning involves constant movement, a frequent change of fishing location, constant casting and fighting. This is a real sport, for which a certain physical preparation is necessary. The result of such fishing can be not only a rich catch, but also an excellent physical shape of the fisherman.
Usually, peaceful fish are caught on a fishing rod and donkey. Spinning is a predator fishing gear. However, crucian carp can also be fished out on it, just like on a standard fishing rod - perch.
Where to begin?
It is best to go on the first fishing accompanied by an experienced fisherman who will help you choose the tackle, bait, fishing place and prevent various difficulties. If such a teacher was not there, it doesn’t matter. The Internet will allow you to successfully master the theoretical part. And then in a specialized store with the help of a seller we buy a kit for a beginner angler. It necessarily includes:
- fishing rod, consisting of a rod, fishing line and hook;
- additional equipment, depending on the fishing method (sinker, float, reel, signaling device);
- bait;
- a cage for caught fish.
To make a fishing woman feel comfortable, it is worth taking a folding chair, an umbrella, in the summer - sunglasses, sunblock and mosquito repellent. For night fishing, you will need a tent or a sleeping bag and necessarily warm clothes. Do not forget about food. The main thing is not to take fish dishes for fishing, which is a bad omen and will bring bad luck.
Winter fishing
The most extreme type of fishing for the most persistent and enthusiastic ladies requires special equipment. And if earlier lovers of such an extreme vacation had to be content with men's warm things that warmed well, but spoiled the figure, now special clothes for winter fishing for women have appeared.
All elements of such a suit are lined with areas that improve moisture removal. The kit includes a warm high bib that covers the chest and back with additional warm inserts on the buttocks and knees. The pants have elastic side inserts that provide a snug fit to the body. The zipper on the back of the pants makes it easy to go to the toilet in winter fishing conditions. The jacket is usually colored with a large hood.
A windproof skirt is also desirable. All seams on the suit are glued, and the zippers are equipped with protective strips, which protects from the cold wind. Modern suits for women fishing in the winter are light, elastic, do not constrain movements. Dress should be layered so as not to freeze and not sweat.
These simple recommendations will help you get ready for fishing. Over time, it will be possible to choose the best method of fishing.
