How many days in a year do you fish? In other words: what's your FTFE (Full Time Fishing Equivalent)?I know guys at our fly fishing club who fish almost every couple of days as well as the whole weekend. Don't ask me how he gets away with his wife & family! That must be at least 100-150 FTFE's a year? I think in the past 10 years my fishing days has decreased to about 20-25 FTFE's a year. This is made up of usually 2-3 long weekend trips during spring / fall and a week trip during the summer. Every other two years or so I'll treat myself with a two weeks trip to the USA /Canada. Such a year will be 30 FTFE.
Funny thing is I prefer to fish 3-4 days straight every once in a while rather than running around a full week chasing fish. After 3-4 days, my hunger to fish is satisfied and start feeling overfed. That's like going to a nice dinner with a full stomach. I'd rather wait for my 'fish hunger' after a fish-less period. One might say I prefer quality time rather than quantity days. By the way, looking at such nice pictures as the one on top really makes me hungry any day!
So, what is YOUR FTFE?

The picture is a river in Slovenia. We will be fishing there next spring (or fall)!
From April or May to mid September I fish once or twice per week. But mainly only 2-4 hours per fishing day.
I am a perfect dad (about the best there is) with two small children. This is my excuse.
Don't try to convince me Opax.
You're talking to the wrong person! :)
