I picked up fly fishing as a summer hobby a couple years ago. I figured I'd learn how to cast, tie a fly, read a river. Instead, I learned way more about myself than I ever did about fishing.
In this video, I break down the 6 biggest life lessons fishing has taught me, like:
- First You're Bad. Then You Get Good.
- Enjoy The Process
- Gratitude
- You Can't Catch Them All
- Be Prepared
- Sometimes, I'm The Problem
