February can be a difficult month for singles. While candy isn’t the exclusive domain of those in relationships, munching on chocolate hearts alone can negatively reinforce your reality. This Valentine’s Day, celebrate your love for fishing and find new outdoor hobbies for singles that you’ll love.
Variety is the spice of life so go after a new fish, and a new challenge! Using a different spinning rig, target a species that’s different from your normal catch.
Every angler knows their way around an early morning but this winter, consider casting even earlier! You may find the fish biting better than usual — because they won’t be expecting you! Then maximize your extra A.M. hours by hitting the gym or taking a hike, then treat yourself to breakfast with a good book.
Fishing may be your solo escape from the world, but consider introducing a quarantine buddy or a co-worker from your COVID bubble to your favorite hobby. Find the next free fishing weekend in your state, then teach someone how to bait a hook, cast, and reel in their catch, and share your love for fishing.
This hobby starts outdoors, with rod in hand and fish on the end of the line, and finishes with you trying a new prepara-tion in the kitchen. Cooking a new fish dish is creative AND delicious, and may further enhance your love for fishing!
COVID has changed what we can do and where. If you need a break from lockdown life, try one of these 8 outdoor hobbies for singles.
