I first began fishing for trout with a grade school chum. That was longer ago than I care to remember. We still meet once in a while to fish together although we both live on different coasts. I always preferred fishing with a buddy but often circumstances dictated either solitary fishing or no fishing at all, and the former is preferable. Now that I am older and have a few physical problems I prefer fishing where others are present, even if I am fishing by myself.
