Top ‘patriotic’ places to go fishing this Fourth of July
Ahh, yes. July 4. The Fourth of July. Independence Day. Fireworks and Freedom Day. No matter what you call it, the fourth day in the month of July marks the peak of summer when grills are sizzling, cul-de-sacs are buzzing and parents everywhere are already feeling the extraordinary force of back-to-school week stronger than ever. But if you thought that’s all the Fourth of July represents, you’d be sadly mistaken. It’s easy to get wrapped up in all the pomp and circumstance of such patriotic traditions as hot dog chugging and emergency room visits and forget the true meaning of the national holiday — a day of unshackling ourselves from responsibility and thus feeling free … to go fishing.
The Fourth of July falls on a Friday this year, which only pours more gasoline on the angler’s burning desire to get out and fish. (No need to come up with a clever excuse to get out of work when most of the country and your boss are already out fishing, too. In fact, a seasoned angler would just forego an excuse altogether at risk of tipping off their boss and losing that crucial head start leaving town.)
