Recently read this statement by an angler in a fishing publication....."I am a fisherman for life. I will always be a fisherman. It is not something I do;it is something I am. Fishing is not an escape;it is where I belong, where I am suppose to be. It is not a place, but a life long journey."

Amen.

With local rivers closed and the next two weekends reserved for fishing, I spent this weekend behind a sod cutter and shovel...

I have allways made it clear that fishing is a need to not a want to thing.

Man that is sweet but if I could just get the lady to understand what it is like.

work is for people who dont know how to fish

I have a claus in my marriage,I go when the fish are in period.It's getting her to understand the rain out gig.I have a great and understanding wife when it comes to fishin.We won't get into the other issues.She loves to fish herself,but it's pretty much limited to one charter trip out of westport and a couple day's at bouy 10 and a two day guided trip to the Elk river in southern Oregon at the steelblue lodge.That's just enough to keep her happy unless there's a Sockeye season!!!!!.
Good luck,
