Fish have feelings too!

It is now 7 days into the beginning of trout season, and I haven't been able to be out for a single day. Whether working or shitty weather, I have so far been withheld from the rivers and streams. I have done a bit of lake fishing before the season opened and I've thrown my line in the water times since the season has been open, but between work and lots of rain, I haven't done any serious fishing. With the rain we have gotten, all the creeks and streams in the area are flowing fast and are all churned up, so there is no visibility and the fish are being forced downstream. And what of these fish being forced from their normal stretches of the waterways? Maybe their feelings are hurt since they are not where they want to be. They have been separated from the homes and the other fish that they hang with. Speaking of such things, do fish have friends? I know that they must have families, however disorganized they may be, but do they construct meaningful relationships with the other fish that they hang around with?

So my birthday is tomorrow. I do enjoy the one day out of the year that I call my own. The one day that I am the one who people celebrate for. Well, at least the people who are close to me since that is all that matters. It would be kinda weird if people that I didn't know walked up to me and wanted to celebrate my birthday. I probably would let them and invite them in, but for people who have no connection to myself or my family I would have questions.

So back to the fish. I hate it when I find a new place to fish and I find out that it is a HUGE attraction of fisherman. I have been introduced to a couple new places for trout fishing, but come to find out on the first few days these places are mobbed by tons of people, making it impossible to have any sort of fun, much less catching fish. I need to find a great place to fish that doesn't have tons of people already attracted to it.
