Anyone who knows me or my brothers....
.....you can blame all of this on my grandpa! He gave the bug to my father, which was then passed on to us. He started something that won't be going away any time soon.
After coming home late from fishing one day, grandpa told an upset grandma:
"look, there are 3 things in this world: Fishing, beer, and you. As long as we keep them in that order we'll get along just fine..."
Good words of wisdom!
Grandpa took us kids fishing on streams that are no longer accessible to the general public. Places like the Weber River, Crooked Creek, Beaver Creek, and Silver Creek. That's where we learned.
Dad was taught on those same streams, but also spent many hours fishing places like City Creek, 3600 W. drain ditch, and Decker Lake.
Luckily for us, we had chance to fish with Grandpa, and we still get to enjoy the wisdom of having Dad tag along with us.

Now it's time to pass things on to my own kids, and hopefully pass this bug on!
