Well said ...

I believe Angling to literally be a lifesaver ,it's even recommended by doctors to combat stress and anxiety..

For me,no fishing = no life ,I'm sure I'm not alone with that thinking ..

Fishing "” it's the great redeemer. It's kept me literally out of prison over the years.
Non-participants… do they realise how wonderful it is? I don't think so.
I've been doing this since I was 8. Started on the Lea, nets to nylon on cane and worms from allotments and compost heaps to catch minnows.
Our pastime "” it's wonderful. Calming. Grounding. A whole plethora of other worlds.
You see things that others never will: grebes dancing, bats flying… The natural world is a wonderful thing for us to participate in.
I've tried with my kids to get them to see what it can do. Do they see it? I think they do. I can but hope.
Anyway, we should consider ourselves lucky. We have the greatest pastime bar none in our lives.
