Manipulating Nature for Human Consumption

Just like agriculture, fishing is primarily an activity that is geared at producing food and goods for consumption. However, over the years, it has also evolved to become considered a recreational activity and even a competitive sport. While it can be done through netting, hand gathering, trapping, spearing and angling, the most common way to practice recreational fishing is to use a rod, reel, line, hooks and bait.

An interesting method -- albeit illegal in Britain and in other parts of the world -- is one called trout tickling. A fisherman rubs his fingers beneath the belly of a trout for a minute. If done right,it will fall into a trance-like condition, giving the fisher a chance to throw it onto the land.
