    How is it for you?

    This year it happened for me. I finally realized it. Skiing was always my number one, and I would fish just until I could ski again. But not anymore. I am completely and utterly addicted now.

    How is it for you, and when did you know it?

    I suck at skiing at least I'm mediocre at fishing, so I spend a lot of time fishing
    Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care

    I've always known fishing was embedded deeper in my soul. I was fishing, or holding fake plastic rods fishing for whales in rain puddles with plastic hoops before I first went skiing and it was always more accessable during the summer than skiing was during the winter.

    When I'm doing either however I never wish I was doing the other.

    It's fishing all the way for me! The only time my focus is entirely on skiing is in December and January. By Feb. all I can think of is wetting a line. I still ski in Nov. and in spring, until the snow is gone but only as a break from slinging the fly line.

    I said I was "bored" in the poll, but I wouldn't say that's accurate.

    I'm more a fan of cooking the feeshes than catching them.

    Spring and Fall can be such difficult times. Do I fish or ski today? So 50-50 for me. I crave fishing in the winter and skiing in the summer.

    I think if I lived closer to decent skiing they would be equal, but I have to say fishing is the bigger priority right now.
    Looking California, feeling Minnesota.

    I have fished all my life, grew up at a flyfishing lodge, and have worked there every summer since I was old enough to hold my own. Fishing is a way of life and I love it. Skiing is a passion that keeps me up at night when I can't be doing it. I'd say they are too different to weigh on the same scale

    My option isn't on that poll. I only fish to eat. As soon as the alpine lakes thaw I fish. We go backpacking every weekend in the summer and I love me some fresh trout after a long day of packin'.
