Asked my wife if she wants to go fishing and the answer was 'no'. Come to think of it, I've never seen Thai women with a rod in their hands.

Maybe because they don’t like swatting insects and sitting in the hot sun? My wife finagled me to go fishing with her friends husband, he and I fished while they sat and yammered and adamantly refused to handle a fishing rod.

Because they're not stupid they go to the local market, much easier, quicker and success is guaranteed.

More news - it's not just Thai women, I bloody hate it!

My wife goes fishing quite often, but its a euphemism for something she likes between the sheets.

Apparently I identify as Thai woman😉

I know two who would jump at the chance to go.They love fishing.

Yeah I go to a fishing park last Sunday every month..... always plenty of females fishing... whilst the hubbies are kicking back on the beers.

I see lots of women going fishing with their partners. Others may collect shells at the beach. Perhaps beach location makes all the difference. 

I have never asked a Thai woman whether she likes fishing, but I certainly know plenty that do. But isn't for pleasure. They fish for the pot and the catch is an important part of their diet. I see women fishing almost every day during the wet season.

 

But to fully answer the O/Ps question, I don't recall any of them line fishing, they use a large scoop net.

I have mine

Fishing is for the lowest of the low in Thailand.  She would be embarrassed to be with you.

My wife goes fishing all the time during the wet season with a large net like the one you describe.

 

I think some people don't understand that there is a difference between fishing and angling.

Angling being the correct term when attempting to catch fish using a rod, line and baited hook.

My wife and her sisters and daughter are all fisherwoman, they regularly go, most times they catch something, bring it home and normally dry it, for Bla-Kem salted fish.

And when I am out and about often see women fishing, most are doing it to put food on the table. 

For the record I like fishing, if I had more time, I would go more often, with the Passak Dam less than 30 minuets away just asking to be fished 

Dam fish full of bacteria

My guess is it is not a big sport for women anywhere...

So, you bait a hook to lure an unsuspecting fish and then hook it and pull it out of the water by its lips.. if you eat it ok - but what I never got is that some people throw it back and consider themselves magnanimous for having spared the poor thing... 

 

A friend of mine used to go fishing w/his friends and just dangle a string in the water - no bait, no hook. 

Mrs took me fishing in Issan once, I am against it as it happens but went. They all stood around while the pump emptied the pond then went and picked the fish up out of the mud and put them all in buckets, they thought it was great fun

I'm told that more than a few enjoy fly fishing.

The cotton is high.

The vast majority of the worlds women are not interested in fishing as an activity unless it's a matter of survival/economic necessity.

Well they better catch some or there's nothing for dinner. All the money has been spent on beer...

i am truly surprised at the lack of replies to this. 

 

 

I use a fishing rod to go rabbit hunting .

I use a carrot as bait and cast out over a field , soon as a rabbit grabs the carrot , I reel him in

Those who match wits with a fish and lose, deserve what they have coming.
