Go Fishing Day is observed annually on June 18th. Fishing is considered to be a peaceful activity. Getting up early and going to a lake or river for fishing increases the chances to successfully catch some fish. Some people like to spend a whole day outside, and even if they do not catch anything they do not find it boring. Go fishing on Go Fishing Day is a great opportunity to leave behind city noises, stress and the hectic pace.
The practice of catching (or attempting to catch) fish with a hook is known as angling. Catch and release (returning the fish to the water to continue its life) is sometimes expected or required by law. For others, this is a preferred form of fishing.
The fish hereby are caught alive and could be left free unharmed at the end of the day. Go Fishing Day invites people to spend a peaceful day outside and get in touch with nature.
