This year I've fished exponentially more than any other year of my life. I have probably close to 75 days on the water this year. This spring I began noticing a pain in my right hand after a long day of fishing... i.e. knot-tying, tying on flies, etc. It gets pretty sore after a full day of fishing. The pain is pretty much isolated to just below the knuckles between my pointer and middle finger. This is why I attribute it to fly fishing, because I exclusively use these digits and my thumb for tying knots and whatnot on the river. Is this carpal tunnel, or the beginning signs of it? I'm only 24, but I heard that you can pretty much get it at any age...

Fished for 13 hours yesterday, and as I type thing I make a fist with that hand and I'm still feeling the pain there... ???
