The Fisherman's Prayer

Pat Neal has a problem. It's not gambling drinking or sex. His addiction comes in the form of the salmon and steelhead that swim in the rainforest rivers of the Olympic Peninsula. As a child he was diagnosed with a severe case of fishing attention deficit disorder (FADD) a disease that plagues him to this day. Of his fellow fishing enthusiasts Neal notes: </P><P>People with fishing problems may spend inordinate amounts of time talking about their disease even if they <I>do</I> show up for work. Most anglers are in complete denial over how much they spend on fishing until other members of the family start whining about food or shoes. </P><P>Based upon the ever-popular Lord's Prayer <I>The Fisherman's Prayer</I> has been reformulated for today's modern fishing conditions and is not limited to the water. <I>The Fisherman's Prayer</I> works on all species of fresh and saltwater game fish. Don't go fishing without a prayer! </P>
