Only one nude fishing

Mainstream porn usually lacks fish altogether – other than tuna references for crude jokes, but Redford says there is a market for this fishing fetish. “There are several different groups of people I market to. One is the sort of good ol’ boy, all-American, red-blooded fisherman type that goes out on fishing trips with the guys and wish there was some babes around. They like to play and they’re the ones that like the hardcore sex and the nude pretty girls catching fish,” Redford said.

How difficult is being a woman in a predominantly male sport? “My club (St Helens Game Fishing Club) is extremely supportive of female fishers. In my time fishing, there have only been a handful of people who aren’t supportive of women in the industry, but most of those are keyboard warriors.” How often do you outfish the boys? “The women at our club have been known to outfish the boys, but it’s also thanks to the men giving us the opportunity to have a crack on the rod and encouraging us to get involved. One year, they asked everyone who had caught a billfish to stand, and only females stood.”

How often do you outfish the boys? “There are days when it just seems girls rule! But with two other passionate fishos in my family (Paul and son Jet Reef) the competition is fierce. It’s often about who’s fastest to the rod.” What is your favourite prey? “It depends what part of the world I’m in and whether it’s salt or freshwater. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of game fishing, but put me on a river casting at trout and it’s not too dissimilar. The hunt, the take — and you can’t leave out the environment.” Best fishing adventure? “The one that I do with my boys by my side. I love a trip that takes you somewhere remote or out of your comfort zone. The fish are not only a challenge, but a true bonus.”

I generally agree with these lists, but I saw one a little while ago that included fishing as a no-go when nude!

One practical note: remember that in that day clothes were incredibly expensive. Poor people might have only one set of clothing. And, as anyone who has been fishing knows, fishing is incredibly messy/stinky.Thus in a less prudish culture it would not be unthinkable to strip down, even all the way, for a very messy job.
