Fishing naked.
I belong to a local fishing club that owns a small lake. Few club members fish the lake so when I'm alone there I often fish naked it's a great freedom. I've not been caught by anyone yet, that I know of, I'm not sure how to react if I am caught out, If I hear the gates out, I have time to dress, If I and caught unaware of someone turning up I think I would sooner brave it out. The club has no rule banning naturist fishing.
well not sure how to explain other than hot as hell out here lol. I've fish nude a few times hard to find seclusion when fishing , a few times I've got nude fishing the chattahoochee river in Georgia once a boat approached fast so I waded in up to my waist - super cool water year around and no doubt the two guys knew I was nude. not sure why I stayed in till they left i should have waded out .
I fish naked a lot and only been caught/seen twice. One time I was wading out to cast as another guy walks up to my area. As I waded back to shore, he saw I was naked and just stayed and chatted with me like nothing was different. It ended up us masturbating together and then he left. The other time, I was sitting in my cooler naked while line was out and another fisherman walked down the shore and as he approached, I didnt cover up so he saw I was nude. He double takes and said ooh youre naked. Turned and left. No harm no problem!
To the OP: Definitely you should fish naked if you are alone, and you're probably right to just tough it out if someone encounters you unexpectedly. The UK has more tolerant attitudes about nudity out in nature than we do in the US. One of my first experiences of nudism in a nude-tolerant area was on a canal where the folks on the other side were fishing nude-a man and a woman. It was great, they were totallyt comfortable and so were my friend and I. Enjoy!
