For the non-angler fishing can seem like a strange sport. It involves lots of waiting around on a river bank, possibly for whole days and nights, and the likelihood of getting cold and wet is very high. After all that, you may not even be rewarded for your patience and you might go home empty handed and disappointed. So why on earth would anyone be tempted to go fishing?
Every angler will all have his own theories as to why the sport is so popular, but it's likely that they will include some, if not all, of the following aspects:
Weather
You can fish in any weather. In the summer, you'll be hard pushed to find a more glorious way of spending your time. It's hot, the birds are singing, and the countryside (and hopefully, the water) is teeming with wildlife. Even in the winter, however, fishing can be immensely enjoyable. You can get a feeling of man against the elements. How well you are prepared for the weather can make or break your fishing trip. If you've come well wrapped up, with plenty of food and hot drink, then you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Escapism
Going fishing allows you to have some time to yourself. We all lead busy lives and now and again it is important to take a break, do something for ourselves and forget about the daily grind. With only your own thoughts for company and possible a radio or a good book, fishing gives you time to reflect on recent events.
Camaraderie
Just as fishing is a good time to enjoy your own company, it's also a good excuse to get together with some mates. You'd be surprised how many new friends you can make as well, especially by visiting the same venue regularly. Competitions are also great fun because you're pitting your wits against other anglers. There's obviously an element of luck involved, but it's also about using your skills and techniques in such a way as the situation demands. |
