Answer 7

Fisherman doesnt bother me. But you could call her an angler. I get called fisherman, fisherwoman(sometimes). I always beat the guys cause i catch better fish =P

Answer 8

I call her "wife".

Answer 9

I prefer angler or fisherman, myself.

I think making the emphasis on saying fisherwoman/person is too obviously pointing out that it makes a difference that she is a woman and that you think it's just a "man's" sport, when it is not. It really doesn't bother me what anyone says in regards to the title, if they would rather change it to woman, fine, but there is no need.

When you speak of "man" in general terms, you are generally speaking of the human race. That could be anyone. So fisherman would not be a derogatory term when refering to a woman who fishes, unless she is just an extremely radical feminist (in such case, she probably wouldn't be fishing...lol).

I hope this makes some sense at least...lol. Tight lines!!!

Fisherman, it's a unisex name.

Answer 12
