China’s Youth Are Hooked on a New Outdoor Sport: Lure Fishing
Amidst
the continuing fervor
for outdoor sports and activities like frisbee
, hiking
, or camping
, China’s young generation now finds itself irresistibly
drawn to a new trend — lure
fishing. Unlike traditional angling
methods, where real bait
is used and often requires hours of waiting patiently
, lure fishing takes a more active approach. Here, anglers
use artificial bait and skillfully mimic
the movements of smaller fish, fooling
aggressive
fish into thinking they are actually prey
. According to the China Angling Association, 46% of the country’s 140 million anglers are aged between 25 and 44.
