#2  HEALTH BENEFITS

While fishing from shore or a boat can be relaxing, Stevenson says kayak angling comes with added health benefits. “One of the main reasons I love fishing out of a kayak is the exercise,” she says. “It combines my love for the outdoors with physical activity. I’m truly at peace when I’m on the water. After a stressful day at work, I can completely unwind.” The way Stevenson sees it, the plentiful mental and physical health benefits make kayak fishing an enticing self-care option for anglers.
