His methods of using bait, lures and artificial flies to catch a wide variety of fish species is especially relevant to the traveller. It has puzzled me that on only a few occasions have I met backpackers fishing while thick on the ground are photographers, bird watchers, kayakers, hikers and mountaineers. Back home, going fishing is for some a means of avoiding chores, such as mowing the lawn or painting the house.
Much pleasure is derived from fishing even if no fish are caught.
You will spend a relaxing time communing with Nature at a river or lake, possibly sighting our feathered and furry friends. This makes it all worthwhile. What is important is that you have been enticed into the countryside to enjoy its offerings and to meet the local inhabitants. While travelling, rather than always experiencing humdrum tourist activities, you will find yourself exploring new areas of a foreign landscape. The traveller has to be selective so that fishing gear represents a minor part of luggage.
