What is National Go Fishing Day?

Every year, we are encouraged to drop a line in the nearest stream, pond, lake, or river. It's a relaxing challenge to switch from our daily routine to bait a hook and catch some fish.

For those who like food, fishing is a recreational pastime. Recreational fishing includes conventions, regulations, licensing limitations, and laws restricting the way in which fish can be caught. The most common form of recreational fishing is a rod, reel, line, and hooks with any one of the various types of bait or lures.

Anangling is a form of angling. The act of catching (or trying to catch) fish with a hook is known as angling. Catch and release (returning the fish to the water to continue its life) is often the desire or requirement by law. For those that are not familiar with the process, this is a favorite method of fishing.

Hobbyists with knowledge of habitat, foraging habits, and migration honed their fishing techniques for a fruitful fishing journey. Some fishermen continue to follow fishing folklore by claiming that the sun and the moon influence fish feeding habits. The sun and the moon, according to some fishermen, influence fish feeding patterns.
