How To
How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. There are many types of fish that can be caught, including bass, carp and crappie, trout as well, walleyes, perch, pike (muskie), eel and many other species. These fish can be caught using a variety of methods. You can use a variety of methods to catch fish such as trolling or casting.
The first step when trying to catch any type of fish is finding a good location where fish are likely to be found. This usually means choosing a spot near your water supply. Next, decide the type of equipment you wish to use.
You should use live bait if you want to lure fish into eating it. Live bait is made up of worms (minnows), crickets (frogs), bloodworms (bloodworms), grasshoppers, and any other small insects.
Artificial lures include baits made from plastic, wood, feathers and metal. Artificial lures come a variety of sizes. They imitate natural prey items such as minnows, crawfish, shiners, grubs, and other aquatic animals. It is easy to cast lures into the water and it doesn't take much skill. It is easy to set up lures and to retrieve them once they have reached their target.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one of the easiest ways to catch fish. Casting requires little effort and does not require any special skills.
All you need are a rod and reel, line, sinker, floatant and hooks. A simple pole can be used to cast. Casting is as easy as holding the rod vertically high above the water. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. As soon as it does this the line starts to unwind from the reel. The lure will drop into the water once the line is at its full length.
Trolling is another method of catching fish. Trolling is a technique that uses a boat to move a lure through the water.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many kinds of fishing and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Some techniques are easier than others. However, they require patience and practice.
