Yes Nicely Said. As much as I usually fish with someone, I do also enjoy a day once in a while on my own, more so if I have an issue to work out. Otherwise I have had the pleasure over the years of fishing with my friends on a regular basis. Just over a year ago, I lost my best Bud to cancer. Way too young. We practically lived on the Bow, and fished many other waters. Had the pleasure of watching his boys grow up on the water, to find them to be very good fly fishers. I miss the hell out of him, and often talk to him when I hit the Bow.(Corny Huh) I gave his eulogy in my fishing shirt. Next year, there are at least two more I will show how to fish. When my day comes, my Bud and I will fish all our dream waters, Cuba for bone, Alaska for trout and salmon, and again the Bow. I always new how much I enjoyed it, and realize even more now that Greg is gone. Planning a spring trip to 2 BC lakes in his honour with about 4 of our buds and at least 1 of his 2 boys. Some scotch and a toast may be involved as well. God Bless Bud, I am likely jelous of your new fishing experience. PL
