I really like to fish!  Do you enjoy the sport?
oooooof course! give me a rod, reel, line and hooks and I'm as happy as a clam in a sandwich!
I am not very good at it.  Do you have any advice or pointers you could give me?
you might want to consider making your own tackle instead of buying them. plastic lures and fake flies work really well
I didn't know I could make my own.  Is it really hard to do and take a lot of practice?
making your own lures shouldn't be too hard. you just need something that has movement and color that'll attract the fish!
Interesting!  I think I will try.  What did fishing become popular recreationally?
I mean, they had FLY fishing in Japan as early as 9th century BCE. fishing is ancient
