Haven't we all done those "evenings" at one point or another?

Maybe so...
We left at 2:30 am to head out - my youngest son and I - to be able to
have a full day on a stream recently. Met my oldest son on the road
just coming home. I told him he was the saner one of the bunch. It
was a great day of fishing as they almost always are.

Hell, when my wife dragged me to this state I didn't even know a trout
existed within its borders. Having lived my whole life up until now in
places where I never lived more than a mile from a great trout stream
(Yampa in Colorado and Tonsina, Gulkana, and Klutina in
Alaska...tributaries of the Copper), I have had to adjust my
standards. So I get ****y when people get righteous about what
qualifies as a "fish" or what good fishing is. As soon as I stopped
bitching about being here and started figuring out what opportunities
existed, it's been good.
