Framework / Born in the United States and then developed in France and Canada, the street fishing is a discipline developed from spinning, with the use of ultra-light equipment and small artificiallures.
Practiced mainly in urban areas, from which the name urban fishing, this technique allows to fish also near the houses, in streams and citizens water where fishing is allowed.
In Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, Amsterdam, Montreal, New York, Tokyo and other big cities many fans have already embarked on this new adventure.
In the rivers of the Loire, in northern France, there are many who practice this activity. Especially in the late hours of the afternoon, when, after leaving the job, or even during lunch you can spend even brief moments for fishing.
One way to relax after work, to clear stress and revive the spirit, along any watercourse.
Walking along a city river or lake with a bag and a pair of sneakers could be a nice way to better know our own towns and its monuments and beauties, specially for youngsters, and to explore other towns as tourists. At the same time young people could better know the environment and learn to respect it playing an healthy activity.
The Street Fishing adopts the Catch and Release philosophy, so fishes captured are photographed and released with utmost care.
