    Default PART OF THE GAME - Neil - June 5, 2010

    PART OF THE GAME

    For a number of years it has been my practice during the summer months to head out after dinner and spend a couple hours matching wits with some of our local trout. Since I am blessed to have three world famous spring creeks within 3 miles of my front door and the Yellowstone River within a couple blocks of my back yard I have lots of options. Unfortunately, even though I live in at the backdoor of trout heaven, I still have to ?play the game? and often the opposing team wins.

    Neil, Well said!! I've tried to explain that to some of my fishing buddies, but some of them just don't get it. Their goal is to put fish on the stringer. Some do "get it" and fishing with them is often enjoyable regardless of the number of fish caught. I don't have as specific a set of rules as you, but I say to each his own. It's a shame so many folks don't have the live and let live attitude and argue so vehemently that their way is the best/only way to fish.

    Neil, excellent post. The 'Game' is what I decide it is, although sometimes interrupted by Mother Nature, etc., but then the 'Game' evolves. Thanks for your insight.
