Hobbies are something you do becasue they get your mind off other
things.Fly fishing is fun and you do it in beautiful places. When
your not fishing you can read about, build rods, tie flys or waste time
on a newsgroup about fly fishing.
Fishing in general requires one to be an optimist. It''s about hope and
belief in things unknown and unseen. Putting your faith and trust in
things unseen and unknow is good for you. Just getting outside can
can recharge your soul. Being made a fool of by a beautiful but dumb
fish can put that sense of aw in the right prespective.
