Why I go Fishing

I go fishing because it’s the perfect alibi.

Please mark NSFW.  I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want people peering over at your screen while reading the OP.

Or just use some discretion when looking at public forums at work?  I'm sure your company work policy states something along those lines.

That is what the Not Safe For Work (NSFW) is for ... and I frequently go googling for answers to technical questions. 

Just suggesting some common courtesy is all.  (Reading this on my phone)

Not disputing what you're saying, but literally half the stuff said/posted on here is not safe for work.  If you want everyone to put NSFW every time they post something bad, its probably not going to work out the way you expected.   Not that I agree with it, but even looking at dead bleeding fish can be considered NSFW so where do you draw the line?  That said...its easier to use your own discretion and make sure that nosy coworker isn't peeping at your screen or just don't do it at work.

Also, Alex is a pervert so most of his stuff is NSFW.   

So, True   I never mix work with pleasure, Right, Won

Not when you're fishing from a kayak 

When was the last time you seen me post from a Kayak! 

Alex,
You're gettin good at it. 1st, Calicoast, then ncka. What's next?
And you haven't post your dirty pictures yet. What then?
Pls post it and let's see what happen.

I thought NSFW were for the hot-spotting posts.  Live and learn, I guess.

Here it is the only one I could post😁
Oh By the ways I quite Calicoast...

Ah, hmmm.... Summer bikinis is all I'll say PC not here too! Y'all do you! Hahahahaha

OK, point taken.  No more browsing NCKA on work laptop !  Phone or home machine only ...

My co-workers are used to my packraft / fly fishing calendars and fully expect me to watch fly-tying videos when I'm taking a break.  But I have a LOT of female coworkers (engineers, scientists, testers, etc) though and I would be very leery of them seeing some things on my screen.  Just sayin'

Cheers !

Got any pics of your female co-workers 

Wife:  "he's usually on his throne, favorite chair in front of the tv or on the boat
Her co-worker: "well, at least you know where he's at all the time".
Wife: "Hmm, I hadn't thought of that"

It's good to remind your significant other that fishing is a harmless hobby.

Back on topic - I'm an adrenaline junky and like challenges so fishing is a perfect way to keep me busy. Working out is fun too and that cartoon describes the gym.

Here you go Chief 

NCKA browsing did get me in trouble at work, long story short the discussion ended when the coworker said, "so you torture small animals for fun". My response was, "well, yes".

A lot of the folks I work with come from other countries, and I guess to them fishing is something you do because you need food.  I actually had to explain "catch and release", and CPR : "catch, photo, release".  Here in the US if I want fish to eat I go to Trader Joe's

The idea that I would hike up to a mountain lake and catch a couple dozen fish seemed wasteful to some folks, at first, until I explained that these are non-native and predatory animals, and they are basically bred for sport, emphasizing that it is a big sport here in America.  After a while, they warmed up to the idea that for me it was primarily about going out and enjoying nature and solitude.

I also explained that yes, occasionally I kill a trout for dinner, and try to be humane about it.  I showed them some flies I tied, and even showed up once at Halloween dressed like a stereotypical fly fisherman, tweed hat and all   That got some laughs.  Now they are pretty much all cool with it. 

Sometimes I show them pictures from trips I took.  Lots of "oohs" and "aahs".
