I'm one of the lucky ones. I have a great wife who also fishes. That means she goes with me once and a while and has no issues when I take my 2-5 day trips.

Took her on a guided Steelhead trip this spring. We boated 8. Her 6, me 2. When we got done I could see the guide wanted to say something to her but was choosing his words. He finally told her that she was one of the best fisher-people he had had on his boat and she was welcomed back any time.

That being said. I'll only get married once.
