FF for trout is great, it puts me in a state of pure focus and relaxation.

I fish for trout to temporarily forget about the shitty parts of life..

It helps me cleanse my mind and helps me cope with the stress the world endows upon me.

FF for trout is my anti-drug..

I like the places they live and I don't have to use bait.

Because I can act like an elitist snob and look down my nose at lesser people who just don't understand what it means to be a complete douche bag!!!!!

I think the stream environment really is the first thing that got me hooked on trout. Its cool seeing fish in shallow, clear water, and its also cool how u read water current to fish to trout effectively. I also think the puzzle trout fishing presents is a great thing. Other fishing in my experience does not present the same level of technical understanding that trout fishing does. Figuring out the insect, stage, and being able to present that pattern effectively is tough to do, and thats why it doesn't get old. I've actually come to enjoy difficult fishing over the years, and also find myself getting bored on streams where 20 fish a day is the norm. Its all about working for what your catching and confirming that your knowledge, intuition, and skill were enough to trick an animal in its own environment. Lastly, few fish are better looking and more rewarding to look at after a good fight.

[FONT=""]THE TESTAMENT OF A FISHERMAN[/FONT]

[FONT=""]Robert Traver 1964, (Judge John Voelker 1903-93)[/FONT]

[FONT=""]I fish because I love to;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful, and hate the environs where crowds of people are found, which are invariably ugly;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because of all the television commercials, cocktail parties, and assorted social posturing I thus escape;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I for one don’t want to waste the trip; because mercifully there are no telephones on trout waters;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because bourbon out of an old tin cup always tastes better out there;[/FONT]
[FONT=""]Because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; [/FONT]
[FONT=""]And, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant – and not nearly so much fun[/FONT]

Sorry for the font issues - hopefully the message is clear.
