Results while by no means a full cross section are intresting. As many people fish both as fish freshwater (more or less). It also is not that amazing that the number that only fish salt is low in compairson. What is puzzeling me is I thought we might have a higher percentage of non-anglers. Is it folks not reading the post or more of us fish than I thought?

i have only met one man, in my life, that didn't fish. in fact, didn't even know how. i turned to my sister after discovering this and said "i'm sorry. i tried to be friends with your husband. he hates sports, beer, and he doesn't know how to fish. he is dead to me."

I fish quite a bit, I started fishing when i was 2yrs old in Jackson Hole Wyoming. When i was 7 My family moved to central oregon where I fished with my dad a lot, mostly trout fishing then as i got older we started ocean fishing for Salmon and Bottom fish. I moved to Arizona for college and didn't fish much, At least for fish. I managed to catch this pretty little thing recietly, started fishing again and now she's catching all the fish...... She caught this on in Eastern Arizona on the Black River. 22" German Brown.

If it swims I love trying to catch it. Most of the time I'm land locked so bass, crappie and catfish are what I'm mostly after. I have an 18' flat bottom and 4 kayaks. I've about decided to sell the flat bottom since my kayaks are my favorite way to fish now. I try to get down to the beach several times a year and surf fish or fish beyond the breakers (btb) for sharks, reds, and jacks. I know some good Jeep accessible spots on the north Tx Gulf coast if anyone is up for some surf fishing. The reds are turning on about now. Now if I can just get work to turn off.

I am glad you fellas drug this back up and moved it here. Come on guys lets get to talking fishing.

BTW if I can figure out how I plan to add one more answer to the poll. Everytime I pass an aquarium I'm figuring out what pound test and hook size would be best to catch a neon tetra.

The streams and rivers around have lots of Cutthroat Trout. You bet my whole family goes fishing when we can. We have a long season from the beginning of May until the end of October. Prospecting for gold is another hobby we enjoy and that season is even longer, it starts when the water is warm enough to put our hands into the water and lasts until we can't stand the cold water in the late Fall. We carry our gold pans with us when fishing just in case we find a good spot or the fish aren't biting. Both hobbies are good excuses to go wheelin' in the mountains.
