Reasons to practice fishing as a hobby 

- Fishing requires a direct "deal" with nature.

We hear many times that "I'm going to the country, to relax." In a mostly urban society, everyone is aware of that need for "escape" that only nature can give us. The incomparable setting that fishing offers, both on the river and in the sea, makes this activity the perfect excuse to enjoy the outdoors.

- Fishing "makes friends".
We love telling all our friends: talking about fishing trips, articles, catches ... When you like real sport fishing, you enjoy, even without taking the rod. And nothing better than sharing your fishing trip with a friend. Over time, it may become a future companion of fatigue.

- Practicing sport fishing develops the capacity for observation, reflection, interpretation, etc.

If the good fisherman can boast of something, among other things, he is an observer: he knows the behavior of the sea, the tides, the atmospheric variables, and the lunar calendar.

- The practice of fishing awakens positive attitudes related to the natural environment.

The fisherman is the first interested in the conservation of the natural environment (thanks to him he can enjoy his favorite hobby). Knowing and valuing the environment will be the starting point towards a conservationist conscience.

- Fishing teaches you to eat well

What one fishes fishing tastes better, neither more nor less. The guarantees of freshness and quality offered by the fish that we fish do not allow any discussion and, in a way, are the best rewards for the effort of a whole day.

- Fishing stimulates the eagerness to know new places, to travel

When we have combed our entire coast or we have approached all our rivers, we always look for new horizons to undertake the next adventure. Fishing becomes, again, the perfect excuse if what we want is to know "world" with the "cane on its back".

- Fishing generates employment and wealth

Specialized brands, shops, fishing trips.

- Fishing is a healthy activity
No fumes, no cars, no noises.

 

Fishing is a thrilling hobby that requires being done right for it to work. It is also an escalating hobby which allows you to experience different levels of mastery.
