A couple articles in the new issue this week mention journals and that got me thinking of a couple questions:

1) This one's the obvious one: How many of us really keep a detailed journal of our fishing experiences?

2) The one that really interests me: What do each of you consider the most important details you log in your journal?

I've kept a fishing journal for a couple years now. When I started I went whole hog and wrote down everything, bugs observed, temps (air and water) flies used, equipment, and so on. As my journal has grown, I've found myself concentrating more on who I fished with, interesting discussions and/or events, weather, fish caught (types rather than numbers and size), and I'll often include a memorable snashot if one is available. I still note the little things if they are new, different, or offer some insight for future fishing, but I worry less about the details and more about the memories these days.

I look forward to hearing everyone elses take on this!
