and lose an hour of light. God damn I wish we would adopt like Arizona and just stop this nonsense of clock turning. I believe that there will be the same amount of daylight.

When DST was described to a wise Indian he said..
"Only the government would believe you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket." that is the best description of this stupid bulshit DST I have heard.

Losing an hour at the end of the day on Sunday lead to my and Rico getting to row the last couple miles of the Sol Duc in the pitch dark...at least we had a big box of coho for our efforts  We didn't even put the boat in the water until 11am...Rico showed up 30 minutes late which is the rough equivalent of being two days early for him  Fish on...

No flashlights required... We were in my boat, and my trailer lights work ;-)
Fish on...

Funny, on Saturday night I was sitting at my buddies' place drinking whisky and we were lamenting DST. Someone was like "Hey the clock says midnight, but it is really only 11. We can drink for another hour!".
At 1 am (DST Midnight) we departed with the agreement to meet in my driveway at 6 (DST). There was some confusion on that end, and were on the water by 8. No first, second or third water for us, but we hammered them anyway.
I can't count the number of times DST has messed me up for both fishing and hunting. It really isn't important for coho fishing, but when you are trying to get your decoys out before first light it is really important.
