There’s a big push on lately to bring “lapsed anglers” back to boat and shore and entice them to start fishing again. The state has been part of that effort.
Maybe because it’s more or less summer, I’ve been hearing a public service announcement about this on the radio lately. The spot extols the Norman Rockwellian virtues of fishing and explains how a day with line in hand can wash away all your worries and tension.
While that PSA may be relaxing, the same, I think, can’t be said about this other one this other one I found – courtesy of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Part of the same campaign, it ends with a little girl beseeching her father to take her fishing “because my wedding will be sooner than you think.”
