Recreational fishing and exploring the forest truly saved me . My mind clears as I can hear waterfalls and streams running , leaves blowing in the breeze , and the hum of spruce bugs in the distance . Whether I ’ m hiking into a new puddle , fishing streamside or an enjoying an overnighter at the lake there ’ s no place else I ’ d rather be . There ’ s no better feeling then the sun beating down onto your back with a big smile on your face as your line tightens and you reel your fish up to the boat . You ' ll often find me targeting a new species , exploring new ground , or studying my backroads map book .
No other therapy beats that ! With that being said I beat my illness thanks to a little help of Mother Nature .
& Into the forest I go , to lose my mind and find my soul .
