Why I Fish: Women Problems

in Why I Fish

It seems like I write about going fishing because of women problems more than I should.  (Here and here, for past reference).  Today I seem to be singing the same song.  There’s no major damage, but it’s still pretty damn frustrating.  No one wants to hear that “there just isn’t a spark”.

That has got to be just about the lamest brush off line ever.

I don’t understand women.  I am not convinced that any guy really does.  Fish, however, are another matter.  They at least are a hell of a lot more simple.

Any and all of life’s problems and issues can be solved on the river with a fly rod in hand.  There is no better salve for the soul than moving water and rising trout.  So after I finish hacking my way through this post (I don’t write too well when I’m frustrated), Shane and I are loading up the Subaru and heading somewhere.  Some days you just need to drive until you have driven far enough and fish where ever you end up.

I have a feeling that the bottle of gin and some tonic water and lime might be going along…
