You need someone to share the water with. That may even extend to

I'm just the opposite. Whenever I've been disinterested in fishing
it's been because of (real or perceived) social obligations.

The cure has always been to disappear somewhere far, far into the
backcountry, just me and the hound dog, to reconnect with why I
go fishing in the first place. I'm not anti-social, well ... not
completely, but I fish alone most of the time.
