I suppose that there are many factors affecting why I fish; the challenge, the competition, the peace and quiet (sometimes), the cameraderie, the proximity to Nature, etc., but it all comes down to the fact that I couldn’t imagine NOT fishing. From childhood through all the changes in education, employment, marital status, parenthood, and geographic location it has remained constant; the one thing that has always been and will always be. The water is my friend and companion, my therapist, my church, and my addiction.
