had to think aboout this,,Guessing 40 or so day fishing..

 

167 outings - 156 FF, 11 other, does not include 50+ days hunting. I do have a pretty good life!

 

You guys that are over 61 days either:

a.) have grown kids
b.) have no kids
c.) are single with no commitments
d.) have a very tolerant significant other

I would love to have fished more than I did, but just couldn't find time. Now my wife has gotten into archery hunting, so that'll be cutting into my fishing time! :-(

 

13 year old daughter and a wife. They are tolerant of my activities as I am of theirs. Works great in my house!

 

I'm in the 31-60 category.

I got out a ton in the early spring and into the beginnig of summer, but drastically tapered off because of coaching and a pregnant wife, and then a baby.

I pretty much missed fall, which is my favorite time of the year.

 

I can go every day if I want to. Plus I hunted from sept to jan. Its my job and I'm stickin to it...

 

I've been out almost 200 times, I work full time 40-60 hrs week, but I have about 15 streams I can hit within a 10-15 min drive.

 

I got a) and d) and next year hope to have e)=retired

 

b. & d.

and I go for many short trips too.

 

Being retired I can fish whenever I want to. The last two years haven't been able to get out alot, because of health reasons, Hpoe that will change this year!

Fishing days in general, 70-80, but maybe a quarter of those outings were with the fly rod.

 

Dont know exactly I cant keep track.

 

I'm somewhere over 40 trips, which is probably double the amount I went FF compared to the last 5 years individually. I have made it a point to put fly fishing further up on my free time list, thanks to this site.

Because this site I am able to socialize with people who are also afflicted with the FF addiction in my localized area. And everybody learns something on this site, beginner and avid enthusiasts alike.

I may have blown off a possible trip or two with members on the site, however I did show up last spring at the Forks to sign up to TU with MO.

I should eventually make it to one of the jams, and will say that yes I have run into a member or two out on some streams by chance. I appreciate all of the efforts put into this site by all members and hosts. It's like Facebook or Myspace for FFishers. :-D

 

I have no clue how many times I was out this year but was the best fishing year I have ever had and I was not out one weekend day fishing day were all monday thru friday except when I took the kids.

 

So I don't do it unless I'm getting paid!

 

yes this is the right time for fishing
