Fly Fishing Is Good for Your Brain, Part 1: Dopamine

January 13, 2019January 15, 2019 BlogFlyFish

We live in a golden era for neuroscience. And, now, there are data that explain why we love fly fishing so much. Let me explain.

Instagram post 2193719854698419357_4023695102 @ctflyguy, you were so right about shortening the tippet behind the weight (from 4’ to 1’ to 2’) and casting up and across for #steelhead at the #salmonriverny.

Your Contact six weight was awesome! #thomasandthomasflyrods #grateful #tightlining #steelheadfishing

Steelhead fishing is everything they say it is: cold, physically and mentally challenging, and brief glimpses of madness when a fish is on. I ended my trip doing the low percentage thing: swinging a streamer as the sun set.... #salmonriver salmonriver #salmonriverny #flyfishing #flyfishingblog
