I have been fishing Opening Day since my Dad took me in 1st grade, either the Coginchaug or Salmon river over the years and I still enjoy it.

I think the break-down of the family is the obvious reason. 33 percent of unborn fishermen are killed before they can ever make it to a stream and over 50 percent of marriages end in divorce and thats the simple ugly facts in America today.

I won't give the answer because I dont want to turn this into a political or religious thread. LOL
