That a 4 day weekend without fishing is more of a tragedy than Lear

.
I'm off to Carlisle for Easter and the GF has other plans some of which might seem attractive

, but it's still 4 days off without fishing! And then there's the walks past rivers, meres and waters all adding insult to injury.
I think that if I take a rod I'll be dumped, but part of me is thinking no bad thing... maybe I can hide it in the car, engage in some edgy roleplay and leave her tied up while I head to Ullswater?
How did you guys approach this?
PS. All of you with fishing partners can shut it!
