How often do you Fish?
« on: November 06, 2009, 03:57:56 PM »
I'd just like to get a feel for how often the average member fishes. A day fishing is a day where you bring a rod to the water and spend atleast an hour or two fishing.

Feel free to post what you voted for.

I'd say I fish an honest 100 days per year. While I'm school I'd say I average 8 days per month with a rod in hand, plus during x-mas break and reading break I basically fish every day. In the summer months I head to an interior lake every weekend from the end of April to the begining of July. Then I start fishing evenings and weekends on the Lowermainland Rivers. I'm probably fairly close to the 150 days/year mark.

150++... not sure how many it is gonna be now that I am in school.
I can honestly say the last 4 years I have been fishing close to 200 or more days. Most of the time I only missed fishing during december (when steelhead is slow) and when the rivers are blown out.
Even when salmon arn't running strong I'm out cutty fishing or fishing rainbows on lakes. I guess you could say Im addicted...  ::)

Around 50. Running a business, having 3 kids and a wife limits how much I can go out. Plus I do have other hobbies as well I enjoy.

Do days where I think about fishing while dozing in lecture count?

Maybe 50- 75days/ year on average... exceeded that already and its only the start of Nov.  Going to school and working to pay for it all cuts deep into fishing time, as does hanging out with non-fisherpeople. ;D
