Answers:
You can refuse the cast however the bones may not heal correctly and that would not be good!. You would most likely be able to go fishing with your cast; it just may be a bit more work!.

If you do refuse the cast then the bones may heal wrong and may cause you a great deal of pain and suffering in the long run!.
Please, do not refuse the cast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can refuse any medical treatment!. You will probably have to sign a form stating you were advised to have the cast and refused to do so!.
It's called "Against Medical Advice"!.
This is to protect the doctors, nurses, etc, in case you have complications and decide to sue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course!. You can deny any kind of medical treatment whenever you want!. I don't know why you'd want to though!. The longer you wait the higher the odds that they bone is going to heal incorrectly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dude, get the cast!. You don't want to have a messed up hand that will cause you hassles later!. You can still fish!. Get the cast, and have a good time on your trip!Www@Answer-Health@Com
