Show SOME fI11NINISAAK ALTONS i I There Are lan of Them Who Enjoy the Delicate Sport I of Aglng An Example I The later pat of the 19th century is I developing a great may fsheromen i says the GlobeDemorat The man I who fishes says that while women have I been maligned hi a great many ways there Is no way In which she has been I more maligned than when It has been said that she could not fish But there is fishing and fishing 1 Genuine fshing the man who knows I says Is not fishing but angling The I socaled fishing Is something very ordinary or-dinary and common something that I no woman would care for The ordinary I ordin-ary socled fisherman pays his aten ton to a great many things besides fish and one Of these is a can and the can Is not for worms That Is what the real fisherman who Is an angler says But angling Ah that Is something different altogether Angling Is an art a most delicate and bewitching art I requires ski study and patience and I Is the queen of alt sportsa rare and delicate sport that once to know Is to know and love always Once an angler is to be always an angler I There Is an increasing number of I women anglers says the man at the i shop where they sell all the delicate paraphernalia pa-raphernalia of the sport There Is no reason why a woman shoulnt be a fly caster I is delicate work which she otight to do quite asjwell I as a man dlf They use the same imiilements I with the rod perhaps a little shorter than a man would use amid not quite so heavy They like to have about as good a qual 1J as they can have and If their husbands hus-bands pay the bills they usually have the best I know a number of women who have several rods though they have never bought any Those husbands hus-bands or father or brothers come In and order a nice rod sent up to them for a present and they pay the bills A good many women fish for black I bas They can fish for them with flies or with bait and troll for them Mimi I flows hClgramle crawfish crickets and frog leg all make good bait A I great many women fish at Greenwood I lake ThOre they have a guide and he I expects to attend to the bait He sits I fP the middle of the boat and the angler at either end swing their lines I around to him to take off the fish and I put on fresh bait I presume more women fsh for bass than anything else They have to go Into the water and wade for trout For some of those who do we have made wading trousers The women have short skirts which they tuck down Into these but they are rather Clumsy romen do a good many thing that they would not have done before the began to ride the bicycle You can go up In Maine where you can IsIs for trout from a boat but most ladles go to Greeenwoo lake COST OF AN OUTFIT What would be the cost of an outfit out-fit A woman could get a pretty good one for from about 13 to 1 There would b a difference In the bait rod for bass and the rod for trout fishing but the price would be about the same The rod would be say 650 reel 3 line U50 leader i5 cents hooks two dozen 60 cents fes two dozen 2 That would be 15 A pair of wading boots would cost from 5 to 1 Then there are fly hook and tackle cases The latter range In price froml to 10 and the later from SOc to 10 I Is not necessary to have a tackle case but It necessarJ thing for when you want to i star off you have your tackle altogether alto-gether and dont have to hunt all over the house for I But you will find a good many women who will go Into the water for their angling continues the fIsherman who angles You will find them on both branches of the aveslnk on the Vlowmoc and on the Beaverkl A great many women go fishing with I their husbands I have seen three women with three men alternating a mar and then a woman walking six I feet abreast down the Beaverkl and those women could fish too I Before July 1 whIle the water 15 cold a woman needs high boots after that she had better put on a bathing I suit for she may get thoroughly wet and It will not to her any ham She will find she Is better for It But she must wear quiet colors In dressing for fish and a dark hat or she will frighten the fish I did see one woman once who won a white sailor hat and a pretty little nautical suit just the effect of one a I sailor would wear when he was out In his Sunday best She was a handsome woman and looked well In it She wore high boot of RussIan leather which I must have been made waterproof In I She carried a silvermount i some way slermount eu rod that probably cost 50 an alum mum reel that would be 20 an 31 gator skin fly book that wIth Its contents I I would cost not less than 40 and a fine I close woven willow creel with Russian I leather straps and plated snaps With her white hat jaunt little short skirt and fine outfit uhe looked well but she I wlsnt In anIIshe dldnt know any i thing about fishing A certaIn California woman trout I fisher has served a a model for everything thing that Is satisfactory in the fisher womans dress for a number of years Her picture was the result of a contest In amateur photography In The Forest and Stream and It practically maie her immort In the line In which she pose She wears skirt that Is short in Itself and then looped here and there until I reaches about to her knees over extralength fishing boots Her waist bodice Is a loose woolen jersey jer-sey the sleeves snug up to the elbow there to the shoulder and from tere very loose There Is a little turnover collar the waist blouses over the band there are loosewrsted glove that come up over the sleeves and a little fancy hat very much lIke an ordinary street hat which 15 pretty but It would seem i might be Improved as It ha not a sportsmanlike appearance The fisher woman carries her game basket slung over one shoulder and of course carries car-ries her rod and a a genuine womanly woman-ly touch to the costume wear a little chatelane bag at her waist A NEW YORK WOMAN But New York ha a woman angler a woman who would rather throw ally I for a trout than eat and who when I she is engrossed In the sport forgets I there Is such a thlnt as meal UrI anyway She ha a fishing suit which I she originated herself and which she has never found needed Improvement I But she Is a born fsherwoman and has i a fsherwomans instinct if there Is such a thing She began fishing In France when she was nothing but a baby She Is fishing now In America and she I hopes to end her life here still fishing To see her Is to see a really enthusla I tic angler I love It passionately she says I dont care for clothes I dont care for jewelry you maJ take away anything any-thing I have but I wont give up my fishing The love of fishing seems to have been born in mc My father never nev-er cared for I but my grandfather was a fisherman and the love for It must have skipped one generation and comedown come-down to me I began when I was not more than a baby fishing for little fish I from a bank at my home about three miles from Paris I could fish morn lag afternoon and night I want to fish whether the fish bite or whether they do not I want to fish whether I Is warm or whether i Is cold I does not make any difference to me I have fished when the snow Is on the ground My frt skied fishing woe In New York when I was about 1 I have fished for striped bass for black bas fur pickerel and for perch and It Is oil good but frt of l comes trout fishing fish-Ing I have fished with men who enjoy en-joy fsillng and Who can endure I great deal of hardship but tCY say I can endure en-dure more hardshIp Ian they I do not wade In the water but I walk from aa five to ten and 1 miles and the men ars tired and I am not And I have had I luck in one way In getting the biggest fshnot the quantity but the quality But that Is because I have patience Women cnn do better In that way for they have more patience A man will throw his fy and walt a little while and then he says that the fish will not I bite and he goes away when perhaps kf5e waits a second longer he gets the loqer fshIt it seemed to come to me by ntul ton how to dress for fishing adl I have worn from the frt the same kind of costume Flannel which most pe pIe wear Is too heavy and I tool 11ue jean I made frt a pal of bloomers ot some light color cotton material I the blue I Jean was too heavy for that I made thom very full around the waist I and full In eer way coming about to the knees and rot gathered in The skirt which is also made full Is of the blue jean and for a waist I weu little thin blouse with a light undervest under It I dont wear fan net at aU ad I never wear a jacket I wear high rubber boots and you are supposed to stand in shallow water and fish In deeper but wlen the fish pulls and yOU get Interested Inter-ested you forget everthlng until you find ourself UP to your shoulders In water Then the rubber boots are uncomfortable un-comfortable and are very heavy led with water The bet thing T ever tried was a pair of mens leather boots with hobnaIs EVEn TAKES COLD I stay In the water fishing all day and get wet but never take cold I have a cold now but I took It coming down on the train I agrees with me to go Into the water and I is ever too dIsagreeable for me to go I go early In the spring and 1 have been when the snow was on the ground antI I have never taken cold Who9 men fu i 9 have been tired out I have been quite fresh and when hey have had to send for a doctor I have not suffered In one way or another Thire IS a great deal In being accustomed to it I do not say that all women could do I I there is something In the constItution I and more In the habIt And as fa as the fishing Is concerned con-cerned while men have some patience I women have a grt del more For Instance you know a certain place and you know that there Is a fish there you 1 see I but you dont catch I But you I say to yourself I I dont catch I today to-day I may catch it the next yea or the next yea after I Is having a womans patience to go back not one year but going back three and sme times four years and you sometimes get this with a little foreign Idiom the most of the time that fish I you g one year In one place and one year In another It make a difference differ-ence You must know every spot ip the place where you are fishing I dont like to go In new places because It take so long to learn where the trout are Tout have the habit after they I get to a certain size say from one and a Quarter to one and a hal pounds of having a home and 0 year you may go I after nferh and Ii 7 has not bairn caught you will be sure that under n certain stone will find the unSer trout and you 11 fnd same ad I I as you r turn each year you look to see If that trut is still there You may seethe I see-the same trout for two three four five i or six years and you vlli know that alt I the fishermen who have been there I have not caught I I speak now of the big fish the buck which is I the most 1IS hVh satisfactory to catch You know other angler have seen him and tied for him and you hope you wIll get hIm and perhaps you do get him and perhaps per-haps lou dont But there Is still another thing ab6fft the brook that will make a difference There may have been a freshet In tho winter ad when you come back you wi find that where It was deep before It Is now shallow and the trout Is not In the old place and you find he has another home on the other sIde of the brook and you are disappointed Fishing for striped bas Is next to trout fishing and that and all other kinds of fishing are all right but there is no love like trout fishing It Is my passion and my delight I is becauee of the way the trout jumps and the way It Is wicked and 10 you love It i One day it vlll Jump at the ily and the j dgt llu not take 1t and then I I you must have the patience The fishing rOll weighs from three I and a half to four ounces and you have I tour or five rods There are different I I kinds of rods to be used according to the kind of weather then there Is a bait rod and a fly rod I usually use a ly rod I detest to fish with worms but I do once In a whie garden hack they cal worms In the country I A ROD GETS TIRED I I I will tel you another thing You I have to have more than one rod and the reason Is this the rod gets tired when It Is used a long time and then tme I It will bend and must have a rest I Am I fond of my rod When I die I this one rod Is going with me In my I coffin I have this ring that I always I wear and that Is over 10 ear old but I would sooner lose thIs than my I rod I love I with my whole heart mJ I have I In my will to go with me In I my coffin and my drinking cup with I which I have found the water In so many clear springs Yon hold this rod I I and I take the end of It and you see I bend and bend Itthere Is a very i large fish on I nowand It will not i break you could catch 12 1 11pou11 I fish with this rod If ou know how to handle it They call me the most faithful fisherman I fish-erman on the r Beaverkl because I I have been there ten almost 1 seasons I and I am fishing at all hours I say I I I am a woman why do you not cal mea i me-a fsherwoman but they say I Is more natural to call me a fisherman It Is because I oa fishing at all tunes I I When the fish will not bIte then iou i-ou have to make a study of the flies Ion I-on the water You watch and watch to see what they arc and then you try I all the flies In your book to get flies I like them The reason the countryman gets so many more fish than the city man Is because the city people cannot stay and watch the flies on the water The city people accuse the countryman of catching the fish with snares but I hey do not and that Is my opinion and ram an enthusiastic angler The city people cannot tudy the flies morning noon and night as the I country people can and they aye lazy and they can give their time to It Then they make thei own files of chicken and bird feathers and they have the I lies that we cannot buy They can make them very natural because they are watching the real flies all the time I That Is the reason they catc h r I trout and because they know the pools I better unless you have been In one i ploce a many ear a I have I have I 1een l fishing three weeks two weeks II three months at a time and lately six weeks I go every day from morning to I LnlJht I say when I start out that I wi not wade over my boots but then I I forget and the first thing I know I am over my shoulder One should know every bit of the I stream and perhaps It would be dangerous dan-gerous for some women but then I can I swim Sometimes I go out at 4 ocloclt In the morning and come back to breakfast at g then back to fish until 1210 arid if I am too tired I qo not go out again that day I have been ilshlng sometimes Very late at night That Is why I am called the most faithful faith-ful fisherman on the Beaverkili The name of the lIles that the fisher opian has to Choose from are legion They represent a not very small for tuse When a single speeial fly cost 7 100 or more flies represent a good deal of money There are flies thnap parently never saw their like on sea or land But that is to the ordinary observer ob-server The naturalist or lie fisher man knows differently The fisherwo man Imows till the flies and calls them by their name without error There is a brown hackle a Beaverklli a professor profes-sor the queen of the water the red Ibis Van Patton yellow Sallie and a nice little green fly Is named for ex President Cleveland It Is all a question of study and patience pa-tience the flsherwoman concludes I have studied everything I could from observation and from what I saw would be a benefit from ehere I saw people were wrong There is nothing I like so much in all the world and it Is my desire my ambition and my I wish sometimes to live In a little hut to he a woman hermit and do nothing but fish |
