I think people should fish more often. It helps with depression, can help with relaxation, and is a low impact movement exercise. Here are the reasons it helps you.
Fishing decreases depression. It teaches self-reliance by being on the water by yourself. It gives you a lot of time to think. It also gives you time to spend with your favorite people. Some of you may say it hurts the fish. There is actually not a lot of research to prove that it hurts the fish. Only because the gap from lip to face is like paper. But there is more fishing helps with.

However, within the past few decades science has begun further exploring this concept. Research has proven there is a direct link between spending time in nature and improvements in mental and physical health. A 2013 study (Biel and Hanes, 2013) found that spending even just 20 minutes in a natural environment significantly reduced cortisol levels, a hormone linked to stress. Another mental health study, found elderly adults who engaged in outdoor activities were less prone to depression (Christensen, Holt, and Wilson, 2013). In terms of physical health, spending time outdoors has been proven to reduce blood pressure levels and lower heart rates (Richardson, 2013). The scientific research offers an explanation as to why Strayed, Thoreau, and Emerson had such positive mental health experiences after spending time in

It’s a simple supply and demand logic, but not only is it due to the demand for these fish, it can also be due to their rareness. Over-fishing can cause what is rare and which fish species isn’t. Commercial fishing may cause fish species to go extinct, or bring in new types of fish to take the place of the other fish. In tuna we

Fly fishing took a lot of practice for me to get down, but in all honesty, I was a kid at the time and around 12. One virtue I possessed none of would’ve been patience.

There should be solutions to this issue and should be solved immediately. One solution people try to do was make areas restricted to fishing and it has not worked. Fish only for what people need, not for what people want. For example some people go fishing all the time, if they catch a small fish they should throw it back in the water because it would be
