Reel Truth and others, Jennie from Ifish.net was in The Daily World today. The article talked about her sickness and her life in general. I would like to be one of the first people to congratulate you on your endevor. My girlfriend was really suprised to see another female angler, she thought she was one of the few. Very good article on you Jennie. Good luck in the future.

Thanks,
Andy Matthews

Andy- This good friend of mine has been a big inspiration to me, as well as to all of her Ifish readers! She takes her substantial life long health challenges in stride with a very positive attitude. She is not only a world class pianist, that has played before President Reagan in Wash. D.C., she really gets after the salmon and steelhead with a passion. She's fun to fish with. Good writer too. Check out her column at www.ifish.net , Steve

I am wondering what is going on! I thought Bill Monroe did a small blip on me in the Oregonian..Then it turned out to be a big blip... Thought it was all over with though! Now I am getting letters from Louisiana, Alaska, California....Wow! It is in papers all over the place. It was in the Astorian last night, the Aberdeen paper.. Gemany! It's WIERD!
I'm glad there are other fishing women, cuz I'm hearing from them!!!
Thanks, R.T., I like you toooo
Anyway...does all this press mean that I get to fish all week? NOOOOO... I have to work.. no fish till Friday. There should be a law against this.
Have a great week..!

Hi Jennie. How are you, it was nice to meet you at the rally. My son keeps saying will I get that big when I am 12 yrs old. Oh I was the guy that showed you the funny Japanese fly rod. I found a company that has a very close rod for sale in the US. TICA USA INC. Tel.704-398-2850 Fax 704-398-0481 I am sure that if you call them they will send you a catalog. Mayby we can take the boys fishing some day. KEEP THE RIVERS CLEAN!!!

My wife is a fishing freak too. She also has major heath problems. She has a pituitary tumor.
She got her first steelhead last month....Now all I ear s " When we going fishing again? " I swear she is going to make me go broke buying her Loomis rods. Its all good though! I always have someone to go fishing with. I think more guys should get thier wives or girlfriends into fishing.

I love hearing about all these women who like to fish, but every time I drift a river, all I see are guys! Where ARE all these women?
I think we ought to get a whole boat full of them, go down the river and show the guys just who knows how to catch um!!!!!!!
I think it is something chemical in our makeup, but I swear..... I see more new women get the bug by going out fishing with the guys, and hooking more fish. It's like woman have beginners luck times two!
What is that all about? Have you seen this also?
Oh Cool! There is a black headed grosbeak out my window! TWO OF EM!
Anyway... YAY to all of the women fishers of the world! If only more women knew how beautiful it is to run down the river on a beautiful fall day.....to stare into the water and look for fish.. To see deer and elk on the shoreline. And the ultimate high of seeing a chrome steelhead break out of the water at the end of their line! ADDICTING!!!!!

Jenny, great article, very inspiring. Just for the record it was in the Yakima newspaper also.
Take Care, God bless

So now everyone in the world knows I am wimpy and sick, huh? Oh well!
With R.T.'s surgery and my illness, we can just call ifish.net the disabled fishing network!!
Thanks for the nice words tho, Huntar
