I watched Countryfile yesterday which had a fairly balanced special on the forthcoming ban on hunting with dogs. My girlfriend watched this with me, our opposing views on this broadened out and eventually went on to Angling. She asked me: why do you go fishing, what do you get out of it?
I've given this lots of thought but it's a difficult question to answer! Certainly, I enjoy being outside, but I wouldn't be happy fishing in a swimming pool, so it's more than that. I also enjoy seeing nature at work but I can do that without going fishing.
My best guess is that it's a mixture of the above 2 suggestions but with a third, stronger force in play i.e. an instinct to hunt.
Can anyone give me their own version of this, help me perhaps give her a better answer?
Thanks.
