Activity Suggestion for March

Let’s go fishing!

With the opening of trout fishing season on March 1, this is a great time to head outside for this ages-old sport. Fishing is a relaxing way to enjoy the outdoors, catch your dinner and even get in some physical activity.

Being outside provides an opportunity to breathe in fresh air, to see emerging spring flowers and foliage and hear birds singing. Your fishing trip becomes an opportunity for physical activity as you walk to your favorite spot, cast your line far in the water and then use arm muscles to reel in that really big one.

If you’re a newcomer to this sport, find a fishing buddy who can help you learn how to choose the right gear and bait. Don’t forget to buy a fishing license if you’re fishing in public waters.
