History
In 2000 when SG-1 received leave time, Jack O'Neill (an avid fisher) invited Samantha Carter to go on a fishing trip in Minnesota with him, unsuccessfully. Later, when the trip was delayed, Jack invited Thor, who also declined. J Later in 2000, Daniel Jackson called Teal'c, who was fishing in Minnesota with O'Neill, for a translation of the line "banished to oblivion" in Goa'uld.

In 2005 after the downfall of both the Goa'uld and Replicators, SG-1 went fishing at Jack's cabin. However, Jack's pond actually lack fish until an alternate SG-1 altered the timeline. It could be possible, however, that fish have always inhabited his pond without him knowing of it.

In 2007, Carson Beckett was planning to go fishing with Rodney McKay on Lantea's mainland. However, the trip was canceled after a medical situation emerged. Later in 2008, Rodney Mckay toyed with the idea of programing the ability to dream into Atlantis' Stasis pod. He tempted Carson Beckett with the idea by saying that he dream of going fishing in the Scottish Highlands with blonde massage therapists.
