Hahaha, man have I tried it all. She told me it was too cold to go outside, so I get here a super cute pink coat, long johns, fuzzy ear muffs, pink waders... I got her an adorable pink rod and reel, which she loves... to look at. She still won't let me forget the time that I took her kokanee fishing on Riffe during our honeymoon, and it was 80 degrees! Too hot to be in a boat she said. I have a super comfortable boat, with super padded seats and a nice warm heater.
It's a battle that I know I'm not going to win
She's not that interested in fishing. Every once in a while the fates will align and she'll ask me to take her bobber fishing for blue gills and trouts. Not even the pink salmon could keep her excited! I envy you! I'm lucky she lets me go at all, and I get paid to go fishing!
