I've only been fly fishing, wade fishing freestone streams and rivers, for ten years, but started at age 60 after a good number of years of regular mostly outdoors physical activity like hiking, both on and off trail in the mountains and deserts, and road biking.

One of my favorite saying is "Do it so you can."

So I keep doing stuff so I can keep doing it. Not to say that there isn't a higher price these days than even five years ago, but the cost of not doing it is a lot higher than the cost of doing it.
