I fish a lot less. I use to fish 2 - 3 nights all winter with 1 or 2 others. We'd catch a few fish and then move on to a different spot to talk to others we know. Prob. would go to 3 to 4 spots a night and in some we wouldn't even fish - just talk to friends. It was more social than fishing. Last few years the internet blew up the spots and each spot would have 7-10 people load vs the 3/4 before. Lots of pictures being taken and then posted on FB the next day. It was no longer enjoyable. My spring river fishing has gotten worse over the last 6-8 years and it is tougher and tougher to catch good size fish. The days of multiple 40" fish are in the rear view mirror. Summer fishing has also gone down hill and there are more people out. The fall run is non-existent.

I have less motivation to go out and have to force myself sometimes. I have been fishing more by myself lately which has its good and bad aspects. I don't spend as much time out, move around more and head home earlier.
