Fishing sounds like a really interesting hobby, even though i've tried it before and caught 0 fishes. But just to be out in nature with a buddy and use the opportunity to unwind and maybe talk a little about life and whatnot (i know it scares the feesh, but i think you can still talk, i'm not sure), it sounds like a very good hobby.Get a light action pole with 4# test on it. Tie in a #6 hook and put a float about 18" above it. Go to the bait shop and get some wax worms (they are little moth larva that live as a parasite on beehives and the best bait for panfish) cast that at some weeds near the shore. If there are fish in the lake you are virtually guaranteed to catch one. It will mostly be bluegill or sunfish but they are fun and good to eat (small one are excellent bass and catfish bait, just hook them under the dorsal fin and cast them out deep with no weights or anything just let them swim around until a huge fish eats them).
What else do people do in nature that isn't something like "hiking"? Something that you can go do and get a reward for doing that. I don't like hunting because i'm a faggot and i think most of the "invasive species" are fucking beautiful creatures and i don't wanna kill them unless i needed to for survival, lol.
