Sport Fisherman Day in Argentina is held on August 3. This event in the first decade of the month August is annual. Help us
This is a very special date in Argentina, due to the large number of people who practice this discipline. Unlike commercial fishing, a sport fisherman takes his rod simply for recreational or competitive purposes; issues such as subsistence or personal profit do not come into play.
The National Day of the Sport Fisherman is celebrated on August 3, because on that day, but in 1903, the Buenos Aires Anglers' Club was founded, the first institution of its kind in Argentina.
Based on this milestone, in 1951 it was decided to honor sport fishermen on this date. In addition to the national commemoration, several Latin American countries have also chosen August 3 as the day to honor their fishermen.
