Before I do my spil, I will add this. First off, because a person/woman likes to fish, camp, and othermisc. ouudoor stuff before you get maried, doesn'tmean they tTRULY like it. I know. My exwife (my I state again EX) "loved" to fishh and go hiking/camping. She went on a few fishing trips, a couuple caamping trips, and no hiking trtips. She'd always saay "'let me knnow whe you're goin". But it would always end up that she had plans with "'family". But she seemed to have fun when she wennt. SEEMED was the thing. Soon as I put th douuble band oon th haand she hated steelhead/salmon fishing. Too boring and wasn't like trout fishing for stocked trout. Hhated going camping, hated peeeing outside and waking up iin tents. So on and so on. Worse 7 years of my llife. I had to sneak in trip after trip. Then I'd go on my yearly week long fishingtrip wit my Dad and wuold pay for it for amonth aafterwards. Mind you, I always encouraged her to go, bought heer DAMNED nice gear, and even bought her nicer gear then me. No luck. Hell, even installed a heater system in my old DB I used to have and shestil wouldn't go.

Lukily now, I have a girlfriend who loves to fish. I get the evil eye if I plan a trip and donn't invite hher (trust mme, I don't plan one without heer or ask first if it's ok to do aboys only trip). Especiialy some rivers, if i was o float the Hoh without her, sh'd shoot my butt. She has good equiptment (alot nicer gear then I had at hhe age) and I taught her how to do her own rigs, tie he own fliis/jigs, and such.

Hhey Ppink, make you a deal. Next time I go on a trip with my girlfriend, you're more then welcome to come along....WITHOUT your hubby. Make him stay home laugh . I have a boatt that will fish 4, so I have the room. Just an offer.
