Be good at one thing, or modest at several?

[PV_Premier]

It seems that every few years I go through an internal struggle of whether I am trying to do too much...be it in life, relationships, work, fly fishing, etc.

After spending quite a bit of time in Idaho this summer and appreciating the simplicity and beauty of modest sized wild cutties on dries, only finally tying on a dry/dropper on Sunday for the first time all summer, I am wondering if I try to do to much...and should just focus on a couple things...

Valley trout and steelhead, the Truckee area, Trinity, occasional coastal steelhead, Upper Sac and McCloud, now exploring Idaho and Wyoming...while it is refreshing to be able to fish a new place "every river day", you lose out on the intimacy and relationship you build with a body/bodies of water.

It is also easy to become quickly overwhelmed and difficult to decide what to do/where to do. I still have never fished Hat Creek, Pit River, Carson, Owens, or completed the California heritage trout challenge. It's embarrasing to say I have not visited the NFYR, Pyramid Lake, or Lake Davis in the last 3 seasons, but it just adds to the "stress" of feeling stretched too thin.

Maybe it is time to refocus. I am not spread nearly as thin as some of you guys as I do not fish warm water or saltwater at all.

Happy hour musings...for what they're worth.
