I, too, enjoy fishing. I'm a fly fisherman. There's something about wading into a stream and pulling a fish out of it. The rush of the water and the intense focus on one task that is tedious and repetitive allows me to really live in the moment without making perfect moments of past situations or worrying about my future. It's great to feel so intensely what is happening at that exact time, and it helps me to deal with anxiety better than any medication could.
Hell yeah, I haven't done much fly fishing (did a little when I was younger) but I have a couple of buddies that are bragging about how great their trips have been recently. I'll have to hit up a stream and give it another go.
It's all about the wading for me. You don't need a fly rod to wade into a stream, but I enjoy the art of presenting a fly in a way that a fish will go for it. My dream is to catch a salmon on a fly.
