Bored housewives


I read with interest Matt Labash's article on Oprah and flyfishing. Here in the UK, 'followers' of Oprah are perhaps a little less extreme in their behaviour so I'm less alarmed by her recent appearance on the Merced River - I dare say I'd feel different if I were a U.S. resident. If as Matt suggests there was a sudden influx of bored housewives to our sport here in the UK, it would probably be a good thing (In the UK women make up only a tiny proportion of anglers.). However, a sudden increase in numbers on properly crowded waters may be a bad thing and while it's not gonna happen here in Blighty, I have to wish you all luck in the Land of the Free... it might actually happen?
