Fishing has been dated back to the Mesolithic period

It is no small wonder that the art of catching fish remains as popular today as ever.
The practice of this skill has been dated all the way back to the Mesolithic period which began about 10,000 years ago. The early cave man could probably give us a good fishing tip or two. I read somewhere that early fish hooks made of bone have been dated back to 4000 years ago. I think fish clubbing is still practiced. I’m not sure if that falls into the skill category. Hunger can bring out the worst or best in anyone.

Angling is an activity which can generate both long-term engagement, with many committing to the sport ‘for life’ and one which can lead to many other areas of interest and skill development such as camping, boating, and back packing. Angling is an important alternative to team sports for kids of all ages and skill levels.
It is a learning process that involves problem solving, acquiring skills, and development of the love of nature and our environment.
