Young fisherwomen - Opinions

I am a young woman (20) who is very keen in learning how to fly fish.
I will soon be moving up to Dunkeld, Perthshire and want to take
advantage of the Tay's reputation for great fishing. As I've been
looking around it seems there are few women, much less quite young
women, who are interested in the sport. What are the reactions I'm
likely to get from anglers as I look for advice? Is it quite a
welcoming, friendly affair? What would you think of a youngster
fishing on the same beat as you? Just curious to hear some opinions.

When you get there you will find out whether you need
to remind them of the Queen Mother's keenness on salmon
fishing, the place of Georgina Ballantine in the record books etc.

Jo,

This is predominately an American group, although, like me, there are
a few from the UK. I live in Central Scotland but have only fished the
Tay a few times. The forum below is full of anglers who prefer the
more wild type of fishing rather than stocked fisheries and you may
get more information there. We have a couple of lady posters so don't
be put off and it is mostly about scottish fishing. Have a look in and
see what you think.
