Whenever something goes wrong on the water I remind myself of how true the following quote is as I gave up golf for fly-fishing, easy decision in hindsight.

"Golf is nothing more than a good walk spoiled" (I forget who said it, some famous golf guru)

The truth is, fly-fishing, or fishing period, is a good trip to the park, stream, woods, wherever that water is, not spoiled but with the bonus of maybe catching fish. I never regret going to the water, never, and that's the truth.

Of course, there are times I don't go when maybe I should drop those things that might cause regret, and just GO.
