Agreed, I really don't think it's the fishing itself.
Half the problem on any dating site is the classic: 1. Be attractive 2. Don't be unattractive.
If the dude is holding a fish but looks like Chris Evans, she will probably still be interested.
On top of that, dudes holding the fish will overwhelmingly tend to look like the wrap around sunglasses wearing, goatee having, overweight, Trump voting cliche. Women probably build an association to not being compatible with dudes who love fishing after enough times of seeing that and connecting these dots.
I dunno, I know plenty who fish as part of a general interest in outdoorsy stuff and their actually in pretty decent shape.
I think part of the fishing issue is that I don't know so many women who actually have as much interest in such as guys, but I do know a lot of guys who don't do have a lot of interests outside of hunting, fishing, and camping. Cool if you're into that, but continual weekend trips involving tramping through damp bush to shoot and then skin Bambi, tenting in a mosquito swarm, and hours in a boat plus gutting fish isn't exactly great dating for many (even if the guy did look like Chris Evans).
