Of course, perhaps he took the dames fishing too! I think so.
As an aside, if you are going to introduce someone to fly fishing, or any outdoor pursuit, introduce them with the basic appropriate gear: clothing, shoes, etc. Keep them comfortable, safe and able to enjoy the beginnings of the endeavor. Oh, and be patient. Nothing can ruin a special moment like your impatience or outbursts. I don’t imagine Clark allowed the little miss to become too uncomfortable for long.

Awesone, interesting man. Study up some time on the behind the scene dynamics of The Misfits and you will care about Clark and Marilyn in a new way. Thanks for commenting Hollie

My grandfather toured with him briefly selling war bonds. He told this story of how he thought he was going to go into this bar and pull all kinds of tail because he was with Clark Gable…only to find out quickly that he was with Clark Gable…no one in that bar gave a shit about him in comparison! I’ll definitely look up The Misfits!

Yes, I think he was a legit FFer. How about Ginger Rogers? I seem to recall she took it seriously also. There is that one beautiful image of her sitting with the fly rod.

And most of all pace yourself. Some guys are not used to all that outdoor kind of activities. 😉 * I would recommend also if you are taking a lady fishing on a “date” know where the closest bathrooms are. Just be yourself. Great write-up 🙂
