It's Time to go fishing!

With Spring in full swing, we here at Morston are getting excited for sunny days Outdoors and celebrating all things Country Sport!

There are many great things to get involved in this time of year. However have you ever considered Fishing as a Sport and a way to get the Kids and Yourself outdoors?

We stock a great range of Fishing Gear to get you started. Such as Rods, Lures, Bait, Reels and Nets to just name a few! The great thing about it is that it doesn't have to cost you an Arm and a Leg to get involved in and there are many Health benefits as we know of being actively involved in the great Outdoors!

Our Customers are currently telling us that the best Fish to fish at the moment are: various flat fish, Rockling, Smooth hound, Dog fish and the occassional Bass. So why not join one of the Nations favourite pass times and catch yourself a Whoopa!

All around the Country you will find Fishing and Anglian Clubs for all age ranges which create a community that welcome you with Open Arms. Here are just a few reasons as to why you should give fishing a go this Spring...

1. Fishing increases your vitamin D

Even when skies are grey – being outside means your body can top up on critical Vitamin D reserves. Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body, keeping your bones and teeth healthy. It boosts your immune system and has been linked to fighting depression.

2. Fishing improves your concentration

Being outside and taking notice of the environment around you improve your ability to concentrate, according to research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Walking in nature or simply spending time under leafy trees leads to changes in the brain, which improve levels of concentration.

3. Fishing reduces stress

40% of adults lie awake at night through stress but just being near water lowers anxiety and brings a sense of calm. More and more charities are realising this and starting to use the therapeutic benefits of fishing to treat post-traumatic-stress-disorder and other illnesses.

4. Fishing lets you unplug

While most people go fishing at the weekend, we see plenty of after work anglers too along our rivers and coastline. So leave your computer and emails behind, get away from the games console or tablet, and let your eyes and mind rest.

If fishing tickles your fancy, come and see us in Store at Morston Country Sport and we'll help kit you out to get you started!

It's time to get back to Nature.
