There are plenty of woman out there that truly love fishing. My boyfriend hooked me on it about four years ago, and now I go every chance I get...with ot without him. In all honesty, it started out that I just wanted to see what he was found so enticing about fishing and at first had no real interest in it myself. But after a five day fishing trip to Canada, the first fish I caught was a 4 pound rainbow and I was hooked (so to speak). So even if you find a lady that doesn't like it intially, she may find that she can't live without it once she tries it. Good Luck!!
