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.


I used to always fish alone preferring my own company but in the last
couple of seasons I have generally preferred to share the experience.
I must admit to a solo session last week that was most pleasant mainly
because it was new water at my pace. Last evening it gave me great
pleasure to introduce a friend to that same water.

I definately know its time to get out when the SO asks "when are you
going next?" ... translated: "get the hell out of here and go enjoy
yourself".
