Juliette, Louis and Célien and their companions are already managing like leaders to hang the maggots on the crushed barb, which prevents them from injuring the fish and throwing it back into the water: ” This practice of No Kill therefore aims to capture a fish and then release it in the best conditions so that it can continue its life. This contact with the living and with nature makes the child reflect on the consequences of his daily actions, explains Thibaut Dardenne.

He also notes a growing attraction of young people for fishing since the confinement due to Covid-19: “People have regained a taste for going for walks, and in particular going fishing with their children or grandchildren. There is an obvious return to nature. And for some children, in addition to their usual activities, fishing has once once more become a center of interest like any other.”

Already experienced or not, the young fishermen have tasted the simple joys of fishing. And for some of them, it was a discovery of a healthy outdoor activity, of a (re)connection to nature.
