Fishing is no longer an activity that humans need to perform in order to ensure the necessary access to resources, but rather a pleasant pastime. Pretty much anyone can do it and the investment in tools is minimal, unless you decide to go professional, so fishing is unlikely to go away. Most of the gone fishing paintings are conveying a humorous message and will bring a smile on your friends’ faces whenever they stumble upon them.

This is something that gone fishing posters routinely do, even when the owner is someone who has no particular interest in fishing and hasn't caught a fish ever.
The best gone fishing wall art has an underlying message, inviting people to take all things in moderation and try to be more patient. It goes without saying that this form of artwork would look great on the walls of fishing cabins and any remote cottages, where people stay for a couple of nights to disconnect from the daily routine and stress.
