flyfishingtaz 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 First off, for those who dont know I'm a long haul truck driver. I get to come home every 2 weeks or so for the weekend, and then Im back out on the road again making a livin. Today is her 40th birthday. Not knocking the 40th, but thats kind of a milestone. It's when we really start having fingers pointed at us saying we're old. Well, we're going fishing, and she said I get to choose the place. That's how I know I have a great girlfriend. It's her birthday, yet I get to go fishing. amazing!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oatka 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Any woman who fishes is worth keeping! My wife fishes and we even fished on our honeymoon....not the whole time. Yesterday she let me fish for an hour while she had to watch since she didn't have her license. The whole time she had kid duty too. Happy birthday to your girlfriend! I hope she outfishes you!

Worstcaster 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 My wife is very tolerant of all my major malfunctions. Between fishing, hunting, and my weird work hours, she is always understanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valhalla 1 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 My wife is the one who encouraged me to start tying flies to satisfy the artist in me. She told me to try fly fishing because she knew I would like that kind of fishing. She bought me the components for the first rod I ever built...but checked to be sure it would be what I wanted. She encouraged me to buy my first bow. Now we are looking for a new one for her, too. She taught me to camp years ago. She goes kayaking and canoeing with me as well. Best of all, she seems to know when I need to do these things alone, too. She is a peach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
