I stand steadfast on the theory that "A bad Day of Fishing is still better than a Good Day of Working". I've often found myself at a loss for words when trying to explain to my significant other that I LOVE to be alone on the river. SureI also love it when she's along for the day, but there's nothing like being by mysekf for the day, and enjoying all that nature has to offer.She gets upset when I leave the phone in the car, siting that I may need it in an emergency, or what if she has an emergency and needs me. Still when I'm by myself, catching or not, there's not much that can ruin my time, and the fish are an awesome bonus, but not really neccessary.
