 Charlie Kroll on the Kispiox River in British Columbia
In my experience, there appears to be six stages or plateaus of desire in the life of a fisher:

1) to catch a fish
2) to catch a lot of fish
3) to catch big fish
4) to catch difficult fish under difficult conditions
5) refinement of tackle and method
6) to catch a fish
