Origins of Fishing

Fishing has been practiced for about 10,000 years. Fish and other seafood was a primary source of food for our ancestors on the planet. There have even been discoveries of early settlements that ate fish as their staple food.

As civilization evolved, so did the primitive technology they had. Farming and basic manufacturing methods developed, and with them, the technology to improve fishing. The way we fish in the present can be traced back from 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. They fished with a stick and line, which the modern day rod still represents.
