Tips for Beginning Fishermen

by Kasey Clowe

Fishing is a fun and challenging activity that also provides the opportunity to escape the stresses of everyday life. If you are taking up fishing for the first time, a few tips can increase your level of enjoyment.

Helpful Tips1. It can take time to get a fish to take the bait, so having

patience is essential. Try to stay in one spot for at least 30 minutes. Avoid constantly recasting your line and making noise, as this can frighten the fish away.

2. Talk to veteran fisherman to learn about the best locations to catch fish in your area.

3. Many fish are attracted to colors. Vary the colors of the lures you use until you determine which one is capturing the fish’s attention.

4. Start out with a lighter fishing rod. This provides greater control of the rod and gives you a sense of how a fish reacts once you have hooked it. You can always increase the size of your rod as you gain experience.
