All it takes to make the world different, better, is small acts of kindness.
It makes YOU feel better, and it makes others feel good too!
The Unexpected behaviour thread made me think of this.
Why not call someone up, or e mail someone on the board that obviously doesn't have a boat and invite him/her fishing?
Is there safety issues involved that prevent this?
I have stopped to ask fishermen on the Kilchis road if they need a ride to their rig. I figure this is fairly safe, as they usually have hip boots, rods with them. Is it? Or am I crazy?
People sometimes get really nervous and edgy as they approach me in a drift boat while I am drift fishing from shore.
They expect to have to drift on through this good hole because I am there.
I used to be fairly possesive of it. I changed my tune recently. It's so much more fun to let the drift boat guys have a try at it, plugging it.
I can fish it any old day. They probably drove hours to get to drift the Kilchis.
What simple little acts of kindness can we show to our fellow anglers in the upcoming year?
I guarantee you that the reaction you get when you are kind is as big of a rush as a fish... (Well.... ALMOST!)
Another one: When you see a guide on the river, be kind to them! Say things that make the clients feel good about their guide, which in turn make the guide feel good.
Anyway, thanks for letting me get this off my chest!
My resolution for this year:
Be kind to our fine anglered friends!
