Mental Health
Fishing requires lots of focus and awareness. This takes your mind off internal conflict and stress, similar to meditation. As a result, it helps to reduce anxiety, fight off depression, and promote relaxation.Studies have shown that fishing lowers your cortisol levels (otherwise known as the stress hormone).This positive effect can last for as long as three weeks after a fishing trip. Fishing has even been used to help people who have experienced trauma or suffer from PTSD. Learn More
Physical Health
Fishing is a bigger workout than you might think! By the time you cast your line, wade through streams, walk to a new fishing spot, and reel in your fish, you’ve had quite the cardiovascular exercise! This low-impact exercise engages your shoulders, back, core, arms, and legs, improving your balance and working your muscles.While fishing you’ll have the chance to soak up the sun. Vitamin D from the sun improves your immune system and promotes cell growth, helping to fight off illness and disease. It’s also a great mood booster!
