There’s always fly fishing & tying.
It has all of the cool stuff of weight lifting without all of the weight lifting.
Iconic figures.
Old timey bullshit. (Tons of this!)
Superfluous attention to insignificant details.
Dogma!
A lot of stories that don’t have to be true.
And if you aren’t good at it you can blame the fish.
Fortunately, fish are pretty dumb and easy to trick.
It really does have a lot to offer.
