It's kind of boring. Fine for a diversion to get away from a desk, I can't imagine it as a lifestyle though.

- hockeybias 8y agoIt takes someone who loves the outdoors to appreciate it.
- sulam 8y agoI love the outdoors, fished plenty as a kid, but don't do it anymore. I'd rather be backpacking, climbing, paddling my kayak -- anything that gets me outdoors _and_ gets my body and brain in sync with each other. Fishing just doesn't do that for me.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 8y agoI'd give up canoeing for fishing. Maybe you could make fishing more attractive by taking up canoeing.
- jhowell 8y agoThere are a lot of people who have moved to be closer to fish. I'm thinking about experiences I've had in the northwest, and Canada, but there are hundreds more places. Fishing is definitely a lifestyle.
- starpilot 8y agoI still can't imagine it as one though.
- wedn3sday 8y agoIm with you on this. Ive been fishing a couple times, caught some dinner, but I've never felt the urge to go fishing. Lots of more fun active outdoorsy things to do that satisfy all the wanting to be out in nature, but are also active and exciting and fun. Might just be sampling bias, but all the people I know who love to fish are in no shape to climb a rock wall.

- cm2012 8y agoBeing fit is not the most important thing in life (Overweight, but not obese people, have a higher life expectancy than standard weight people.)
- workinfunk 8y agoReally? Happen to have a source for this?
- freedomben 8y agoIt certainly can be, but doesn't have to be. If you figure out the right time, place, and lure, it can be pretty engaging. If you're getting bored, might try a moving to a new spot or switching lures. Sometimes it takes some experimentation and luck to figure out the magic. There's one place I like to go that is super slow and boring, unless there's a thunderstorm moving in. Things pick up quickly then.
