Many people consider that fish are only a
medium of survival, or to some extent a food supply; yet there is another angle
that is little known. The manufacturing industry utilizes more than two billion
pounds of fish and fish by-products every year. This is slightly more than is
used for food.
What most people do not know is that
fishing continues to provide recreational activity of making it one of the most
preferred hobbies.
In fact, fishing as a hobby is
continuously growing and that is why the estimated number of people who acquire
fishing licenses each year is more than 12 million.
Moreover, surveys show that for every
dollar spent for a fishing license, there are sixteen dollars spent for
equipment, such as fishing tackle, food, clothing, and transportation. There is
more money spent on fishing than on any other hobby in existence. Why is it a
Great Hobby?
It is a means of providing something to
free the mind and body of the worries of the day. It has also been proven to
help in monitoring troubled teens, replacing negative thoughts and activity
with more positive traits and pursuits. Fishing is truly a wholesome sport.
The use of all types of fishing equipment
has added something that no other feature could possibly accomplish. Thousands
of youngsters are enthusiastic to learn how to cast a fly or plug bait.
These youngsters have an interest in fish
and fishing and they desire to fish in a lawful and recreational manner.
Boiled down, fish and fishing may be
considered one of man's essential resources. It is hoped that further
realization of fishing as a hobby will develop the necessary knowledge of the
true recreational value of fishing, the fish, and the general conservation of
all natural resources as well as the value of good sportsmanship and developing
good citizens.
