My fiancee says there has to be a 12 step program out there to help with the salmon addiction.

It has always amazed me what we will do for a fish. It is amazing how a middle aged, beer bellied man who gets winded going to the mail box is transformed into an olympic class athlete when chasing a steelie downriver. Or the narrow trails down the side of a cliff we take just to get to a good spot, trails most people wouldn't even consider normally, much less in waders carrying all our fishing gear (By the way - surfers are the same way about getting to a good surf spot, probably even worse about it)

I lived in a little town called Valsetz as a kid (the town no longer exists). There was a 750 acre "pond" the mill used for log storage that was loaded with bass. I can remember hopping across floating logs just to get to a better fishing spot - wouldn't even consider that now as I am MUCH heavier and MUCH slower!
