The peacefulness of fishing.

Published by flyfishfanatic at 3:05 pm under Fly Fishing

I have been fishing for as long as I can remember, and I have always loved the peacefulness that is brings. For myself, there is nothing and I mean nothing that calms me and puts me in a different place than fishing. I have found that getting away for a few days fishing recharges my batteries and helps me get through that boredom of work and some parts of life.

I have had a few occasions in my life that hit me hard and the only thing that helped me out was to hit the water. I had my mother pass away a few years ago and this hit me alot harder than I expected, I became very depressed and life was not fun. I decided to take a few weeks off and hit the road, this is when I realized how therapeutic fishing was to me.

I spent the better part of those two weeks at some of the lakes I frequent and it helped out more than I could ever imagine.
Being out in nature and having the time to reflect on life and think  about my mother was priceless and  this is what I do now if there are any major problems in my life. When I am fishing/camping I find all of my issues  seem to just fade away leaving me with a overwhelming feeling of peace

If you are having any sort of issues in life, try to get away find a lake or river that has very few people and just take in the beauty and peacefulness of nature.

Tight lines and Fun times

    You are absolutely correct. It is so wonderful to be out there with nature. You can forget about the huste and bustle of city life and technology and breathe the fresh air and relax. It is the best thing for a human to go out and enjoy what mother nature put out for us. I wish more people would enjoy what we like to do. There might be a lot less fighting going on in this world if people would just stop and grab a flyrod and go fishing. :)

    Rick you are dead on…. that’s the only reason to fish…peace in a hectic world.

    P.S. have you been over here lately……. not just hunting anymore.

    I think you have hit the nail on the head with that post - in times of stress or strife even thinking about a future trip helps me to get through it !
