Ultimate Kayak Fishing

There is a new exiting forum category on on Ultimate Kayak Fishing. The Women on Water category consist of both public and private areas. The Women on Fishing forum is an area for ladies to voice opinions or ask questions on fishing related subjects. Brenda "SeaWitch" is in charge of this part of the community and we are glad to have her on as an Administrator. (Nils)

 

The following are from the introduction on the forum:

 

"Women on Water" is a forum for women who fish on shore, or from kayaks or boats, AND its for those who WANT TO FISH or want to try it, but may not have had an opportunity. Women on Water covers freshwater and salt, and it includes rod'n'reel and flyfishing. It is a place to discuss issues unique to women in regards to anything water. If you're a seasoned fisherwoman, come share with us, and if you're brand new, we can plan trips to learn about boats or shopping excursions to pick out beginner gear.

This is from the first post made in the WOW forum: 

 

It can be intimidating out there. I'm getting better at holding my own, but darn, the guys are just so GOOD at this. I wonder if, despite my declaration that I'm holding my own, this is why I fish alone so often. Don't get me wrong, I love to fish with the guys, but if I'm alone, I can work through that bird's nest in the reel without ever having to admit how it got there. I can work on my cast and when the results are no better today than they were a month ago, nobody has to know. What I'm saying is, I can figure out how to do things that I'd learned earlier, to practice them. I can fumble with the fish taking his hook out and getting him back into the water, and if anything crazy happens (and it has, trust me!) there's nobody there to witness my clumsy handling.
