The Journey and Rhythm of Fishing in Africa

Being in tune with nature in this incredible sport helps me to tune out all the noise and distraction of daily life. Do I love catching fish? Of course! Pursuing that catch is an incredible rush. But the outcome of a caught fish is certainly not the whole story. The journey - the waiting, the watching, the understanding of the rhythm and strengths of the fish all around me - takes me outside of myself, leading me into something greater.

It forces me to focus on the world around me, as well as my own response to it - am I getting impatient? Am I giving up easily when I don’t immediately get the outcome I want? Am I trying to understand the patterns of the beings around me or just hoping they’ll conform to my own schedule? I need to be there, in the moment, and experience what’s happening. I need to shut out the distractions of day-to-day life and focus on the process, and on the environment and my encounter with it. I think this is part of the reason I’m so drawn to fishing and travel. I truly believe that we all need, at times, to pull away from the busyness of everyday life to refocus on what’s important to us. Like all of my trips, my trip to Sette Cama reminded me, yet again, how crucial this is.”

Come join me sometime for on of my hosted trips around the world and experience these life changing places for yourself. 🌎
