Fun: Fishing is a lot of fun and that's why it's one of the most popular sports in America. You can challenge yourself to catch more or bigger fish than your last trip, or you can just sit back and enjoy being outdoors and not worry about catching any fish at all. You might decide you like the excitement of fishing in a tournament, or you may decide that hiking into a remote mountain lake is your favorite thing to do. One of the best parts about fishing is that it gives you time to sit and relax, and think about other things that are important to you. Family: Most anglers were taught to fish by someone in their family. Ask your Mom, Dad, Grandparents or other relatives to teach you to fish. If they do not already know how to fish, you can learn together. Once you learn how, spending time together outdoors with your family will become an important part of your life. Food: Many anglers like to release the fish they catch, but fishing is also a good way to bring home a tasty meal. As long as you follow the fishing regulations and are not wasteful, there is no reason not to enjoy eating what you catch. It can be fun to try different ways of cooking your fish, and for many anglers, the best meal they have ever eaten was fresh caught fish cooked on the shore of the lake or stream where they were caught. But just remember that you don't have to catch and keep your limit to have fun. You can have just as much fun fishing and letting them go. |
