Several times a year a friend and I go trout fishing. We almost always take a day off in the middle of the week to go angling for trout. We prefer the weekdays because there so many fewer fisherman in the rivers. I have to say that I really cannot stand to go fishing in public parks on the weekends. The reason that I even started fishing for trout was to experience the art of fly fishing and simply enjoying the great outdoors. I just find it hard to enjoy relative peace of nature in a park with a hundred other anglers all vying for the same trout in the same one mile stretch of river. I mean really, can you image trying to catch a fish while someone down the river, just out of the corner of your eye, is catching a fish every few minutes. What pain! Hurray for the guy, but what about me. What about my fish, my fishing experience? I guess I will get over it and just keep looking for some new holes.
