I’m sure pretty much every angler has, on the odd occasion, questioned what they are actually doing fishing when conditions or otherwise dictate they could (or should!) be spending time doing something more productive.
I’ve certainly felt pretty dejected after a run of blanks on a hard water or stubbornly going fishing when conditions just aren’t right and then struggling.
However, I’ve never really felt a real sense of burnout in relation to going fishing. Even after blanking in cold, wet conditions I can always muster fresh enthusiasm for the next trip.
One of the joys of angling for me is always trying new things. Getting to grips with a new venue, doing a bit of sea fishing even travelling to a venue in a new way (cycling) has kept my interest up throughout the years.
I’ve always been impressed by some of the ‘big names’ in the mags, bloggers and contributors on here that continue to write with genuine enthusiasm and interest for the sport, even after they’ve fished for years or even decades.
However you also sometimes see ‘instant’ anglers that appear on the scene in a blaze of glory only to disappear soon after.
Have you ever suffered fishing ‘burnout’?
What’s the key to continually enjoying your fishing?
