Indoor fishing
Indoor fishing is a recreational activity in which patrons fish from man-made pools. Patrons typically pay per hour to use the pool; indoor fishing facilities provide equipment such as fishing rods, and patrons keep whatever they catch.
Indoor fishing is a popular activity in parts of East Asia.
Some indoor fishing facilities give out prizes for catching certain fish.[1][2]
Indoor fishing is enjoyed by many demographics. Some pools cater to older patrons as a post-work relaxation activity.[1] Indoor fishing pools may also cater to children to educate and foster an interest of fish and fishing.[3]
Variations
Tsuribori
There are some outdoor tsuribori facilities in Japan.
Shrimping
Indoor shrimping began in Taiwan soon after outdoor shrimping became popular in its southern regions in the early 1990s.[2][4][5] Indoor shrimping remains popular as a family-friendly activity that can be done alone, as a family, or in a group of friends or coworkers.[5][6][7]
Enclosed Docks
In the United States, there have been cases where structures are built around natural bodies of water, thereby allowing visitors to fish indoors.[8][9]
Temporary Indoor Pools
In the United States and Canada, indoor fishing pools are sometimes temporarily erected for special events. These indoor pools are put up at sport fishing events to entertain children and expose them to catch and release fishing.[10][11][12] In some cases, swimming pools are drained and filled with fish for community indoor fishing events for families and children.[13][14]
In Popular Culture
In an episode of the Netflix reality show Terrace House, some participants visit a Japanese novelty restaurant named Zauo, where customers can catch fish for their dinner inside the restaurant.[15]
