Well the women I know who fish most certainly do.
I'd post some pictures of them doing so but I don't have their permission....yet.
Well wait, there's one and she's my daughter so here ya go.
She's been a strong headed self determined individual all the way back to her diaper filling days.
And she fishes out of the one man portable Ice hut I built almost 4 decades ago.
*Note.....she also caught the Channel Cats, she just wouldn't hold them. 😆
