Cast your line and catch the best memories on National Go Fishing Day! Get ready for a fun day outdoors with friends and family.
Get ready to celebrate National Go Fishing Day on June 18! This day has been celebrated since the 1950s, when it was created as an opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and enjoy a peaceful day on the water. It's also a great way to learn about conservation, sustainability, ecology, wildlife management and our aquatic ecosystems.
Find a local pond or lake that allows fishing and grab your gear. Make sure you have the proper license and regulations for the area, and then get ready to cast your line.
Gather up some friends and family and plan a fishing tournament - with prizes for categories like biggest fish, most creative lure, etc.
For an added challenge and thrill of night fishing, head out on the lake at night. You'll need a light source but it's worth it.
Rent a boat or borrow one from a friend, and take off to explore new waters. Fishing from a boat gives you access to deeper parts of the lake that may have bigger fish.
Use the fish you catch as inspiration for creating art - start by making prints, then paint them on canvas or wood, or use them as part of a mosaic or sculpture.
Fishing is an activity that is enjoyed by people of all ages, especially on National Go Fishing Day. It’s the perfect way to sit back, breathe in the fresh air, and forget your worries as you wait for a bite - one of life's simple pleasures!
Fishing requires patience, determination and resilience - virtues that are invaluable in life! Every cast of the rod and every moment lying in wait can test a person's mettle and work ethic - traits that will come in handy no matter what field or arena you find yourself in.
When done responsibly, fishing can help support local and regional fish populations. Taking only what you need from the water helps ensure that there are enough fish left to reproduce and continue to populate its natural habitat. Plus, if you practice catch and release then even more fish are able to survive!
