International holidays - World Fishing Day

The fishing profession is difficult, dangerous and unpredictable Fishing is completely different from the fascinating hobby called fishing, when fishermen complacently spend time on the shore of a pond with a fishing rod, enjoying the beauty of the surrounding nature However, World Fishing Day, which is an international holiday, is celebrated by everyone who has ever held a fishing rod in their hands On June 27, both fishing professionals and lovers of a pleasant pastime with a spinning rod in their hands celebrate Fisherman's Day Fishing is a profession that has appeared since the Paleolithic era The aborigines who inhabited the shores of the seas and oceans, especially if they did not engage in cattle breeding, ate exclusively prey from the abyss of the sea At first they simply caught fish with their hands or waited for the waves to throw them ashore Or several people, forming a circle, would drive the fish in and grab it with their hands Subsequently, harpoons and throwing arrows for fishing were invented And the very first fishing rod appeared in the Stone Age, and in the Bronze Age, people came up with nets and baskets from a variety of plant and flexible fibers for catching small fish However, there were also large ones Gradually, with the development of society, fishing also improved In 1496, a manual was even published in England on the rigging, nets and fishing rods of that time And this opus, oddly enough, was written by a woman—Juliana Berners After a certain time, fishing was divided into several types of fishing: commercial, consumer and sport Commercial fishing is a responsible form of fishing and is important for the state When catching fish commercially, powerful equipment and technically equipped ship structures are used There is a huge catch of fish by state fish factories, which affects the country's economy and fish prices on a national scale All the work of professional fishermen takes place under strict regime and working conditions Most often, the work schedule for fishermen is not standardized and depends entirely on weather conditions affecting fishing Fishing can be coastal or sea, and depending on their specialization, fishermen work in the sea, lake, river or ocean In the fishing profession, mutual assistance, the reliable shoulder of a friend, understanding of the situation, and instant reaction are very important Among the raging sea-ocean, there is no one to wait for help; only a friend’s shoulder can support you at a crucial moment A professional fisherman must know absolutely everything about fish What are the varieties, places of accumulation, methods of life Professionals in catching fish must not only be able to catch them, but also process the catch so that it does not disappear before returning to land Fishermen are seasoned, courageous, responsible people who perform their difficult work in a changing environment of weather conditions It only remains to add that Fisherman’s Day in Russia is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of July
