Dean,
Thankfully, we are not experiencing the shack nasties in the Carolinas (72 today) but your topic is very timely and I agree wholeheartedly. In an attempt to broaden my horizons from the traditional works of Rutledge, McIntosh, Ruark, GB Evans, etc., my fly fishing son has introduced me to a book called "Trout Bum" by John Gierach. A fly fishing book may seem off topic for our forum but I know a lot our group occasionally will put down the Parkers and pick up a fly rod. The link for me and my son is that we are now tying our own flies with our wing shooting feathers. Anyway, the book is humerous and written at a high level that really makes you think about what you need to sacrifice and forsake in life to truly become a "trout bum". It's a good read for those that share other passions in addition to our Parkers and wing shooting.

Charles
