Christmas Fishing History:
Fishing is one of the oldest and most universally enjoyed sports. It brings pleasure to small boys and to men, to kings, and to beggars. A fisherman with a simple rod and line can have as much fun as a millionaire perched on his yacht trolling for barracuda off the coast of Florida. Through many hundreds of years, men of affairs have gone fishing to take refuge from the cares of office.
The joys of fishing are different for each fisherman. Some like fishing because it gives them a chance to be outdoors. Some like to sit on the bank of a quiet stream, watch the slow ripples in the water, and think. Others like the fight with a strong game fish. Whatever their reasons, some fourteen million people take out fishing licenses every year in the United States alone. Fishing is equally popular in Canada.
Fishing.
Fishing is one of the most popular, relaxing and rewarding forms of outdoor recreation. People enjoy fishing in a wide variety of fresh, saltwater and brackish, or slightly salty, bays, lakes, oceans, rivers and streams.
Around the world millions of people fish for food and for their living. Fishing for them is not a sport. The amateur fisherman eats what he catches or gives it away to be eaten or lets it go, back into the water. He is more interested in the catching process.
Some people fish with simple bamboo or cane poles. Others use modern rods, reels and additional equipment that require greater skill to operate. People who use the combination of a rod, reel and line to catch fish are called anglers. The challenging thrill of angling involves outsmarting, hooking, playing and finally landing the fish. Some anglers catch fish only for enjoyment and release the fish after landing them, while other anglers catch fish either to eat or to preserve as trophies.
Some common methods of fishing include casting, still fishing, drift fishing, trolling and ice fishing. In casting, anglers use rods to throw a line with natural or artificial bait into the water. Then they retrieve the line by hand or by turning the handle of a reel to tempt the fish to bite the bait. In still fishing, the angler casts the bait from a bank or an anchored boat and waits for the fish to bite. When drift fishing, the angler allows the bait to trail the boat, which drifts freely with the current. In trolling, the bait is dragged, at or below the surface, behind a moving boat. In ice fishing, fish are caught through a hole chopped in the ice. Select to see a complete listing of our Unique Christmas Ornaments.
