What is a Fly Fishermans worst enemy?

[BruceAC]

fairly obvious answer here...the enemy is...
the poachers and those who abuse and threaten the resources that we all value.

(or maybe a freezing cold- rainy day when trying to retie a sz 22 whitefish fly)

How about the combination of fast water booze and vibram soles.

Laziness.

Too lazy to change your tippet.

Too lazy to tie and test your knots.

Too lazy to walk a mile to get to some water.

Too lazy to change your leader and tippet when it needs it.

Too lazy to use stealth.

Too lazy to park and walk instead of fishing near where you parked.

Too lazy to stay away from certain river edges instead of spooking fish.

Too lazy to sharpen your hooks.

Too lazy to find your own spots.

Too lazy to tie some extra flies.

Too lazy to wade carefully.

Too lazy to........

Bugs. Ever drive into a swarm of bugs(mosquito's) at the place you park. And can't get them out of your rig?????????????????????

[Ed Call]

Sasquatch. That spooky, hairy, huge bastard is everwhere where the fishing is good, always trying to scare you off.

Time.

[Be Jofus G]

Cracked buckles on your float tube fins that you didn't notice until you're 100 meters from shore on a day with no wind.

I would have to say none of the above.

1. The Wife is always telling me to go some place.
2. The kids are all grown.
3. I'm retired.
4. Really don't have any buddies here in Montana.
5. To hell with the inlaws.
6. See number one.
7. And yes I'm my own worse enemy.

Parkinsons disease and all of the above. I think the disease makes me lazy, it's so much of a struggle to get things done that you skip the fly changing and replacing tippet etc. I guess bad eyes adds to that too. I think actually time and wind and lazyness are the worst culprits to most. Sorry got to stop it's time for another nap!!!
