We have seen in previous articles how introduce a child to fishing and then how introduce a teenager to fishing . In this article, we will look at ways to share your passion with an adult who is new to the subject.
Favouring natural space
For adults, the discovery of remarkable natural spaces always leaves a memorable souvenir. It is therefore important to take into account the fishing spots where you are going to propose to an adult to accompany you. In contact with nature, the practice of fishing with another person allows to escape from the routine and to share different moments of happiness.
Fishing in high altitude lakes or streams for example, will offer a total change of scenery and can be a good way to combine physical practice and relaxation.
Zen attitudes
Many city dwellers aspire to rediscover nature to find a little peace and authenticity. Fishing is therefore a playful practice that will allow leisure and disconnection.
Adult or child, the beginner angler needs to at least see some fish and better still to catch some fish for a complete discovery. It is therefore useless to take the risk of making a hood by wanting to impress his partner at all costs. Give preference to techniques that you have mastered and with which you are almost certain to catch fish.
Some adults are still fond of fish while others do not accept to kill any animal. It is up to you to decide if no-kill fishing is mandatory or not, depending on your own convictions and those of the person who will be accompanying you on that particular day.
The approach of new fishing techniques
The image of fishing among inexperienced adults is often rooted in old stereotypes. Even though cork fishing from a chair is still practiced, your teammate of the day will be pleasantly surprised by the new approach you propose.
The different modern techniques of fishing with lures for example will allow you to discover another facet of fishing. However, you will have to be patient and educational to explain the proper handling of the equipment used.
Other techniques such as surfcasting, feeder fishing or battery fishing will inevitably get a curious adult interested. The use of boats such as float tubes or kayaks for fishing will also be an excellent way to show that fishing can be a sport.
