Fishing is one of those hobbies that many people seem to do, but everyone else knows very little about how it works in practice. It is known that it is a very peaceful hobby and that a person can get a lot of enjoyment from it, leaving the stress of everyday life at home for a few hours while they sit by a canal or river bank, patiently waiting for a big catch.
If you want to learn about fishing, the best way to do it is to take lessons from someone who actually does the hobby. You could learn from books or from TV shows, but when you are actually there with someone, you can ask questions, get instant answers and pick up a few tips that the books don’t cover.
What to Wear
While you are just learning, it does not matter so much what you wear, although it does need to be practical. A river fisherman might use waders if they regularly go into the water, and it is a given that you will need to have some kind of waterproof clothing.
This does not mean that you can’t wear dresses when fishing. In the summer months, when it is hot, dresses are practical for the female fishing enthusiast. They are light and will help to keep you cool. Some winter dresses can even be layered with other items to produce a suitable outfit for fishing when the weather turns a bit cooler. Some dresses will even go very nicely with the gilets and jackets that fishing enthusiasts wear; plenty of pockets for all the bits and pieces needed for a successful day fishing.
Once you have got the basics right, it is just a question of being patient and getting plenty of practice. Why not join a local angler’s club? You are sure to meet plenty of people there who are full of great stories about the sport and who will be able to offer you advice on all manner of fishing-related issues. Clubs are generally reasonably cheap to join and are filled with like-minded individuals.
