When nothing is going right, go fishing

“Fishing is not an escape from life, but often a deeper immersion into it.” – Harry Middleton

“The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.“
A.K. Best

Calm ocean water with gentle ripples extends to the horizon under a clear blue sky, with a faint landmass in the distance.

“Fishing enables us to get closer to nature.”

Fennel Hudson

“The solution to any problem — is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be.” – John Gierach.

“I propose that it only matters that you attempt to catch a fish. Doing so brings you close to nature.“
Fennel Hudson
