You and me go fishing in the rain....

I never thought that fishing could be a physiotherapy until the other day when I read an article in the Toronto Sun about a man who had lost some physical functions and used fishing as physiotherapy.  I think it is a great idea.  You can read the full article here.  I have been try get physically and mentally healthy and fishing is a way to do both

Recently I went out fishing with my girlfriend to a little place in Oshawa we learnt about.  Our first trip we caught nothing.  It was fun watching the other fisherman and we even learnt a few tips.  Our second trip out I ended up with a monster on the end of my line.  I fought well and pulled it to shore.  Unfortunately my girlfriend in her haste to drag my fish up onto shore snapped the line.  Weeks ago I might have even gotten angry, this time I didn`t get mad I thought it was funny and enjoyed the fight of the fish on my line.    The next day we went out and it poured rain.  You can see how we were by the wrinkles in my fingers. Valiantly we fished on.  As we were about to leave I felt the smallest tug on my line. I reeled it in (it didn`t put up much of a fight) It was a small trout.  I had asked for a fish and I got one.    This time my girlfriend used the net :D Next time I should specify a large salmon.
