  • A short film highlighting just how lucky we are to be immersed in nature when fishing. Spending time by the waterside is great therapy. Wildlife is amazing. It's good to be outside, it's good to be fishing and it's good to be alive!

    You can't beat a Robin by your side when you're fishing. They are like a labrador good company but always hungry. Love them both.

      They poop a lot though, as my camera discovered once and took forever to clean!

    Isn’t that a good part of the reason we go fishing? Lovely to catch some fish, but being close to nature, enjoying the environment we are lucky enough to be in, sums it all up for me. You can have a poor day fishing wise, but still a great day fishing. Thanks Jon for reminding us it’s not all about winning.

    One of the best things about fishing the same lake regularly is the opportunity to watch birds rear their young. Last year I saw 8 cygnets grow from balls of fluff to majestic Swans. Also...you can't beat having a Robin for company on the peg!

    Couldn't agree more Jon! We are so blessed and privileged to witness far more of the beauties of creation than people who don't go fishing. As you rightly say, it is great for our mental health and for the soul. I have even heard reports of GPs suggesting to their patients that they take up fishing as a way of improving their mental health, and we already know of course that many service veterans suffering with PTSD take it up for the same reason. And we never begrudge a robin (or even a wren, as I had once one very cold Winter's day) some of our maggots! 😊

    • @JonArthur

    Cheers for this. Keep your daughter away from social media until she's 18, & let her see all the sights of nature that those glued to their iphones will never see.

    Sitting shiverinhg in a winter match on the river Thame when a family of about ten long tailed tits turned up and searched through the willow behind me always gave me a warm feeling. And seeing wood pigeons on the river Severn crash into the water to load up a drink for their squabs. Amazing. Thought the first one I saw do it had been shot 😵. Get the same enjoyment playing golf these days. Winter always brings the Brent geese in their hundreds to the field next to the course. Too old to go match fishing any more and nowhere to run a stick float through since moved
