I miss fly fishing. It had to go for a physical reason. I would fish whenever I could all over the Pacific Northwest. I tied my own bugs when I wasn't fishing I was thinking about fishing. I see a picture of a river today and imagine how I would attack that water. There are a couple of places that are tied to my fishing that I need to see again before I die. They are so much a part of who I am....

Sounds like a cool thing. I can feel the nostalgia already!
I miss it, I really do. I often chose the fishing over riding a motorcycle. In fact, for many of those years I only had a dirt motorcycle that I could fully enjoy in short gulps. A few stolen hours here and there. I fished and hiked and camped and saw bits of the world that most never see.
Riding a bike is one of my biggest dreams. I need that kind of freedom and adrenaline so badly in my life!
In all honesty, it's the best. The freedom is just unimaginable and there is a no doubt adrenaline drip effect. Continuous higher awareness of your surroundings and conditions. You can SMELL the world around you!
It's completely do able. I recommend a beginners riding course highly. They will give you enough skills to stay alive until you really learn to ride.
There is a 'danger' aspect that a rider has to deal with. Not forget, and not discard, but learn to dance with. It's probably the thing that stops most people and it is clearly a factor in the end of a riding career. But it's so rewarding!
Definitely. I would never jump over before having some courses first :) Thanks for the advice!
I ride and there's nothing quite like it...An amazing feeling of freedom.
Hopefully I'll be able to feel the experience too anytime soon :D
Yep, I hope...It's so much fun...A little dangerous, but worth it for the fun...Now, @bigtom13 told me to ask about your shoes? I'm intrigued.
It's my own touch to my travel posts haha, taking a picture with my shoes in front of the discovery made! I think this is what he was referring to :D
I've never tried this...But then again fishing isn't really my thing...I can do it, but have a great knack for the reel ending up looking like a birds nest of fishing line. :)
I too miss fishing. My best friend and i were avid fishermen. We did the creeks and rivers of central California. The ocean for sea bass yellowtail and bluefin. Wed spend three days at a time fishing. I miss it. I gad planned to try fishing fir barramundi in australia but that never materialized. Was going to teach the little boy how to do it. We'd spend time at the local creek with ling branches pretending they were fishing polls and we'd catch imaginary fish.
I was so into it I'd go to a local park and practice with a piece of yarn tied on instead of a hook so I could track the trajectory. So, yeah, I get imaginary fishing...
The best part was making up imaginary fish names together. Little boys come up with the best names for things.
