Fly fishing is a natural stress reliever. Being surrounded by a beautiful landscape, unplugged from electronics, and far away from the stresses of everyday life is not only relaxing but it can become a deeply spiritual experience. Fly fishing involves repeated, relaxed but controlled actions that provoke a deep state of physical and mental rest. Because of this, it is often compared to meditation and has some of the same benefits, which are then carried into our daily life. Fly fishing is more than just a beautiful day in the flowing waters of a river; it is a wonderful and healthy way to balance your mind and body.
Ditch the phone and pick up a fishing rod, you won’t be disappointed.
