On Why Fishing is Such a Popular Sport in the UK
It’s a well known fact that fishing is the most popular sport in the UK. But for all of us who DON’T fish, the question is : why is it so popular?
The appeal lies in primarily being outside. It’s an outdoor activity, and you can pretty much place yourself anywhere alongside a river or lake, so you can also pick a good view. There’s also the interesting part of strategy: what fishing baits to choose, what kind of keep nets, even bait boats.
It’s a great way to unwind and get some peace and quiet while maybe even getting a free lunch - yes, there is even such a thing as a free lunch with fishing.
