Man has always loved to look at the surface of the water. Stormy waters of the ocean, brilliant sun glare on the surface of the sea, a fast river and a quiet lake - all this has long attracted people who have found in the water not only the pleasure of contemplation, but also a source of food. Indeed, the seas and oceans are rich in fish - the prey of fishermen. People who fish professionally are called anglers. And fishermen are lovers of such a popular hobby in our country. Despite such a difference in definitions, both of them celebrate Fisherman's Day on a grand scale.

When do we celebrate Fisherman's Day in Russia?

When is Fisherman's Day celebrated in Russia? This holiday has its roots in 1980. The date of the celebration changes every time. Now it is customary to celebrate it on the second Sunday of July. To determine what date Fisherman's Day will be celebrated in each year, you can only check the calendar. For example, in 2012, fishermen across the country competed in skill and showed off their catch on July 8th. And Fisherman's Day in 2013 falls on 14July. Of course, fishing is a hobby in which gambling can manifest itself. But the process of catching fish also brings a sense of calm, satisfaction. Thanks to the combination of such different properties, fishing as a hobby has become very popular in our country.

What gifts are appropriate?

It is customary to give gifts on holidays. And on Fisherman's Day, when everyone whispers and sings about fish, the best gift for a fisherman will be his catch, or at least the opportunity to relax with a fishing rod on the river bank. This opportunity can be created, but with the catch it is more difficult. Friends and relatives, dressed in diving suits, will not secretly hook a fish on the hook of their friend, as in the famous film. But they may well prepare a festive lunch (dinner) of fish and seafood on this day. Those who are not devoid of a poetic gift can give the fisherman poems that glorify him as the best fisherman in the world (the old man who caught the goldfish does not count). Souvenirs in the form of fish, various fishing accessories: fishing rods, a folding chair, a thermos will also be appropriate.

How is it customary to celebrate this professional holiday?

Are there any celebration traditions? Undoubtedly. How can the Day of the Fisherman do when all the fishermen only think about catching at least a small fish (and even better the biggest fish) without fishing?!

On this day, competitions, contests are organized everywhere on the banks of reservoirs, the main prize and the purpose of which is, of course, excellentmood and charge of positive he althy energy. These can be competitions for the best and most successful, dexterous and patient fisherman, family competitions for the best fishing family.
