Fishing was my family's go-to, inexpensive recreational sport. We spent many weekends at the lake casting our lines into the water.
However, the act of actually fishing wasn't my idea of a wonderful weekend. In fact, I never actually fished. Oh sure, I liked riding in the boat and being with my family, but I preferred sitting quietly,a book or writing a story while filling my lungs with fresh air and taking in the sounds of nature.
