Icbniary 10. 2005 - Pajic 16 Ice fishing clinic hooks women who are new to the sport Brian Brinkerhoff Sixteen new ice fishing fan were born at Rockport Reservoir during a recent Division of Wildlife Resources Becoming an Outdoors Woman ice-fishing clinic. Instructor Mickey Anderson Ander-son commented, "When any one of them got a fish on, all of them let out hoops and hollers and they all cheered for each other It was great." Anderson, owner of Fish Tech in Salt Lake City, and assistant Dan Kliason, walked the women out to a pre-selected spot they had scouted the day before the event. Using hand-operated and electric augers to drill holes for the women, the instructors instruc-tors patiently set each student stu-dent up with ice-fishing rods and bait. They also gave personal instruction on how to bait the line, jig for fish and reel in the fish they caught. "Some of the ladies were catching fish the minute they dropped their lines in," said Nancy Hoff, BOW coordinator. coor-dinator. Although Hoff only caught one fish, it was the biggest one caught all day a beautiful 14 l'2-inch trout that went back through the ice after everyone every-one cheered and admired it for a brief moment. Participant Judy Koff, remarked, "The instructors were very patient and knowledgeable." At first she was nervous about learning something new and afraid she might he the only "grandma" there. She was relieved to find herself among a friendly friend-ly groi'p of women of all ages and backgrounds. "It was sure different kissing my husband goodbye good-bye and telling him, 'I'm going fishing, she said, laughing. "I would encourage encour-age any woman who wants to understand the fascination fascina-tion that keeps her husband going back out on the ice all the time to give this a try." Another first-time participant, partic-ipant, Kimberlie Smith, a working mom with two young daughters, realized that it would be beneficial for her to take some time out of her busy schedule to do something for herself. She explained, "My husband hus-band and father are wonderful won-derful men who have taught me a lot over the years, but going hunting and fishing with them always makes me feel like a tag-along. But with BOW you are part of a great group of women, and you really fit in." In addition to her eight fat perch and one rainbow trout, Kimberlie snagged some memories, new friends and a few pointers she hopes to share with her husband soon. When the women were done fishing, the two men prepared a delicious fish feast on the ice. Anderson boiled fish fillets in butter and bread crumbs, while Eliason grilled fillets on a skillet with vegetable oil and seasonings. "I've been teaching fly fishing for 27 years," Ander son said, "and I've been doing the BOW-clinics for as long as they've been around, which is about 10 years. These BOW clinics ' are always my very favorite." Anderson observes that when there are no men around, the groups of women feel more relaxed and less pressured to "do it right." They're eager to learn, ask lots of questions and aren't afraid to make mistakes. He also noted that there is no competitiveness at the BOW clinics. In fact, the women cheer each other on and enjoy each other's successes. suc-cesses. The students, on the other hand, appreciate the opportunity to learn new skills under the guidance of positive instructors who are skilled, not only in their field of expertise, but also in sharing that knowledge patiently and calmly.
