Fly-fisherwoman Marina Gibson is an ambassador for amongst others Orvis and Indigo Ivy and describes her passion as an “unreachable itch”. She spends her working days at a Mayfair real estate investment and asset management group but is to be found with a rod in hand on the water at weekends and during holidays. On Twitter, this London based “girl gone fishing” describes her mantra as: “Eat, sleep, fish, repeat” whilst of her, others remark: “[a stuffy old] J. R. Hartley she is not”.

Here we go again, another ‘rich kid’, being groomed to get into television. ‘Fishing with Marina Gibson’, I can see the series now, Marina takes you fishing, to some of the most beautiful and remote places on Earth. her first television series with eight episodes, Part one- Marina goes fishing in Peru.
What is wrong with someone being passionate about a sport/activity they adore?
Why not tell our readers what you are passionate about instead of complaining about others?
What a pleasure to see: Too many youths stay indoors playing on their computers and watching the tellybox. I’m a little old to get out in a boat now but I admire Marina and her like for making the most of the countryside and life in general.
Marina sounds really cool. I love messing about in boats and fishing when on holiday but to have made it your life is simply fabulous!
I love gefilte fish, please keep on fishing. Sell your fish to the kosher delicatessen, Will buy it there, darling.
Does Marina teach others to fish? I’d be interested to learn to fly-cast myself.
It all seems a bit fishy to me.
Marina is the real deal! To stuffy old farts like David – mmm sour grapes me thinks! Why is being passionate for our sport a crime….or is it you have a problem with women fishermen…maybe, perhaps?
Thank you to everyone who has commented, all your positive feedback is greatly appreciated. Yolanda – if you take a look at my website: http://www.marinagibsonfishing.com I still have some available fishing for this year. Take a look 🙂
That fish looks amazing, I’d love to fillet that and cook it up, it looks tasty 🙂
