Patrick Durkin: Fishing’s rituals, routines build friendships

I only like to go fishing when I’m alone or with somebody. But I’d rather fish alone than go with just anybody.
After all, few situations are more boring or annoying than being confined to a fishing boat with someone if your only shared interest is fishing. That’s especially true on big water when far from shore with little action and few boats or other sights to distract you when the action slows.
