For me, fishing isn't an escape at all. That implies the desire to get away from something (work/routine/whatever) is stronger than the desire to actually fish. Fishing is rewarding on its own in a lot of the ways that people have shared above. Being in quiet nature, feeling like you are part of the food chain again, honing a skill, always being surprised...
However, reading TPFR, or day dreaming about fishing, or reading free beer tie magazines from the 80s, that is more about escape. Sure there's the element of bettering myself for when I'm actually fishing, but its also a way to pretend I'm out fishing when I'm not. Breaking up the work day by reading all of your fishing reports is probably the greatest escape.
