I've considered fishing, but the equipment is expensive, and all the closest locations are pretty far. When I need to chill I just play a game or go for a smoke.

Well, location can be tricky, that's for sure, but they sell some pretty cheap rod and reel combos that are great for trout fishing for around $20-$35 that'll get you going pretty quickly. Other than that, you just need a lure, or a bobber and hook, all of those are gonna be around $5 total, and some bait. Digging for worms after it rains is pretty easy, even grabbing bugs on location is a great way to get bait!

I'll bring something to smoke with me, usually, too. It's a nice combo. Or a cooler with some crisp beers inside, great way to spend an afternoon or early morning.
