Although I’m not a crazy-arsed angler, I tend to agree with the author (aka my supervisor): shower? steak?!?! WTF ?!?
A fishin’ trip of this (guys-only) type does not allow for these shenanigans (Utensils, cleanup implements, quarters for the shower; lookit all this extra crap you gotta bring now).

I was out in 100+ degree heat for 4 hours pruning wine grapes yesterday, d’ya think I showered beforehand?!?!? BZZZZZT.

It seems to me that these girley-men and camp-followers your fishing with don’t understand that the correct portions of sweat, dirt, and deet combine to make the human body completely waterproof. The neoprene wader is’nt worn out of concern for the water, it’s worn out of concern for the AIR. The natural goodness is baked inside until the fishing trip is over.

Let’s hear it for Nyquil, Chief, on the eve of departure I contracted the flu. Maybe there is something to this hygiene thing …

NAW.

Around Nessmuk’s Campfire (circa 1910) there used to be an old Indian saying: “Any goddam fool can be uncomfortable in the wilderness !”
Whiteman has learned nothing from ancient Indian wisdom ! Let’s hear it for the pizza chopper, the ice cream truck, the bubble tent, the cot, the inflatable mattress, the jalapeno flavored jerky, and the Grey Pupon ! Suck it, Whiteman !

You fish the waters of the Little Stinking and you are worried about a shower?!?

You want ice cream? Here’s your ice cream:

Just remember to use water from upstream of your camp.

As I’ve grown older I’ve succumbed to some niceties. A bigger tent. A cot in said tent. A decent coleman grill to cook a relatively good but basic meal – meat, a minimum number of vegetables (usually onion or starch, nothing green), and strong coffee.

But a shower? No! Part of the shared experience is the grizzled look and feel. Besides, everyone knows that the more days you spend on the water the more mojo you accumulate. Why would you want to wash that off?

Water is for fish, not bathing.

Only 3 days without a shower? Let’s see, you will be fishing, so that must mean there will be water involved. So what’s their problem? They never heard of a cold shower?

Let’s face it, they likely consider you to be about half a bubble off level anyway so why be surprised at such a reaction. That’s what you get for being a crusty old fart that, to the younger crowd, represents a throwback attitude towards the great outdoors.
