I agree. I just returned from a Canadian fishing trip, and the only other
guy in the lodge other than my wife and I remarked that the camp where he
normally stays is full of a**h****, to which I thought, "yeah, and one
less than normal". Tom is a brave soul to take pot luck on a 9 day fishing
partner, although I will say that 95% of the folks I have met at fishing
camps have been folks I would gladly fish with again. That 5% though would
be almost enough to make me hang up my rod forever.

I think my wife and kids were more worried about me being out 10 days in the
middle of nowhere with a stranger than I was.
My son said to me before I left; "Well Dad, if you're going to get screwed,
I hope it's with a bear for your sake!"

I remember Susan's comment before my first Clave - You're going to go
fishing with a group of guys you just met on the INTERNET!!!!

However, I figured that as long as they weren't homicidal maniacs or
some such, I could just drive off and go fishing on my own. However, on
a 9 day float with one raft, that isn't an option.
