Hi!
I'm new here but looking forward to following along with you all. I'm in NE Iowa and fish as often as I can. With depression and anxiety issues that came after I had sever covid in May 2020, I need to get outside and in nature to calm things... It helps immensely! Also, for me, being around water is good energy. Actually, just being in nature; trees, grass, trails, water bodies... It all is good for your physical and psychological needs.
I work at home as a CSR and take mostly inbound calls... I hate it.
Mainly, because until Dec 2021, I was the afternoon/drive time DJ on a #1 Classic Hits station with 100K watts behind me. I was there for 13.5 years, working my dream career until budgets said otherwise. This is also a source of my depression and anxiety.
This is only one reason why I fish.

Welcome to the Stage Shawn. Fishing is a great way to raise your spirits (especially catching), but being outside in nature is healthy. Good Luck in your adventures and Tight Lines.

Don't forget, we love pictures!
PS: I'm a Classic Rock Junkie

I haven't figured how to upload pics yet. Any direction would be welcomed!
