It's funny that an entire industry was made to make a piece of plastic recreate something that exists naturally. I always wondered what the intrigue of fishing was, i guess the excitement i feel in catching a fish is not visceral, in fact i don't really see the point unless i am going to eat it. It's hard because my dad loves fishing and that is one thing i never understood. I never understood the point of taking something out of its natural environment for our pleasure. I guess it is a form of exploration, a way of pulling in something that you don't understand to try and better understand it. To achieve a type of understanding between you and an extension of yourself, casting out an intention. I love being in nature and sometimes fishing is an excuse to be there, but i guess i don't have the intention of ever catching a fish. I'm sure that would change if i was hungry without food, until then i will cast without intention.
