Wellbeing Holidays

Listening to the sound of the flowing rivers and observing the play of light and shadow on the water surface while a chill breeze of wind refreshes your mind. The surrounding forests, fells and river banks seem endless. Welcome to fishing in the North!

​

As a fishing enthusiast you know the benefits of fishing, but here you find a couple of reasons to share with your loved ones before booking your next fishing trip.

 

Spending time out in nature promotes relaxation and offers many of the same benefits that meditation does, such as reduced blood pressure and decreased anxiety. In fact, studies have shown that fishing is good for your mental health because it can lower your cortisol levels (your body's main stress hormone). The benefits of fishing for mental health can last for up to three weeks after a fishing trip. 

​

You don’t usually drop a line in the water and catch a fish right away. Some days the bite can be slow and challenging, but when you persist through those slow periods, the experience makes you a more patient person. Learning patience through fishing is good for your mental health because it can encourage you to be calmer and more content.​
