7 Reasons Trout Fishing is the Ultimate Social Distancing Activity
1) Trout fishing destinations are in remote places:
Whether or not we are dealing with a pandemic, you are not going to be struggling to find elbow room while you are fly fishing. Trout do not like crowds and prefer remote places. To find them, you have to stop remote working and head up into the mountains.
Remote does not have to mean inaccessible, however. Western North Carolina has excellent trout fishing convenient to cities like Charlotte, Asheville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Highlands, Cashiers, Waynesville, and Greenville.
2) Trout fishing lets you breathe the fresh air
Trying to practice social distancing typically means you need to stay indoors. Specifically, you and your family are staying inside your house. Many people are learning, working, eating, exercising, and entertaining themselves right where they live. Trout fishing lets you maintain safe distancing guidelines while breathing in the Great Outdoors.
3) Trout fishing is great for beginners
It can take years to master some hobbies enough to actually enjoy them. Fly fishing, however, is perfect for beginners. With a little instruction, you can be catching trout in no time. At Turning Stone’s, we can teach anyone, young or old the art and skill of fly fishing. We would love to have you join us for a great day on the river, showing you what we love!
4) Trout fishing provides an opportunity to social distance with friends
Do you want to hang out with some friends but cannot figure out how to maintain social distancing? Fly fishing in western North Carolina is your answer. You can maintain a safe distance from your closest friends while enjoying the mountain air and pristine waters.
5) Trout fishing can be fun and educational
Has figuring out all this new technology just to do work and school made you want to learn something that has nothing to do with computers? We get it. Fly fishing is entertaining and educational, and you do not even have to glance at a laptop, tablet, or phone.
6) Trout fishing can provide food for your family
You may have finally gotten used to doing all your grocery shopping online. As convenient as curbside pick-up can be, sometimes you just want the satisfaction of knowing you provided for yourself and your family. Trout fishing can be a productive hobby, which may make it easier to convince your family to let you go more often.
7) Trout fishing is a useful skill
Pickleball can be a fun hobby and something you can do with friends when you are not social distancing. However, learning how to fly fish is an activity you can do while social distancing, and it can be useful for the rest of your life. When you need a break, you don’t have to settle for practicing your pickleball swing by yourself in the yard. Choose to go trout fishing where you can learn a fun, useful skill while being surrounded by beauty.
