odd fly fishing question
#17
[quote flygoddess]Rivers don't ice up. I have been fishing just about every day. [Wink][/quote]
I never understood why anyone would ever let a little bit of frozen water stop them from fishing. I guess for some people fishing is a hobby. For a few of us, it's a way of life!




It's fishing. It doesn't matter if you use a spinning rod, fly rod, or broom stick. It's still fishing. Some people get hung up on the technique or the gear, and they let that affect them. Others fish. One day they might be buggin' some trout with a 9' fly rod, a couple split-shot, a worm hook and a juicy nightcrawler, while the next day they might be trolling out the back of their boat with down-riggers. me? I like fly casting to slurpers from the bow of my bass boat. Or like flygoddess, I enjoy walking the (snow)banks of a river in January casting dries to fish that haven't been fished for in 3 months!


the thing is this: fishing (whatever technique you want to apply) is a fad for many. They never do figure it out. But for some of us, fishing it what keeps us alive. It's what drives us. It's what we talk about at church, at morning production meeting, at dinner, at the urinal. Some of us wake up after the anesthesia wears off and say "put me back to sleep. I was fishing!"
Fish. Fishing. Where it goods. Where it's not. Why not. What's being done to fix it. How it affects fishing. Why someone doesn't fish. Why they should. Why am I not.


anyone want to go fishing?
