Fishing does not interest me in the least. I did have a boss once who managed his stress by target shooting. I bet he had imagined faces on his targets and this made him feel better and kept him from becoming an "active shooter." He scared me.

Whether you go fishing, birdwatching, canoeing, etc., etc., being in touch with nature is good for anyone's well-being. People often forget that we're tactile animals.

@Ryo1 In touch with nature is very cool.
