Birdie, I know what you mean. My fishing partner is going through the Chemo treatments for the past five years. Today it is perfect on the river. The river is smooth as glass, no wind and I can see fish rising. If I was able to get out I would have to have someone with me. I just can't get on

I think that you are right. I was going like a house on fire some years ago but the last few years I have slowed down to a snail's pace. The home nurse just left and he asked me if I had been able to fish. He said as good as I was doing today that I might of done some fishing off my dock. I
