How to Fish in Freshwater

These species can be caught in a variety different ways. Some popular methods include casting, trolling, jigging, spinnerbaits, flyfishing, baitcasting, and ice fishing.

You should use live bait if you want to lure fish into eating it. Live bait can include worms or minnows as well as crickets, frogs or bloodworms.
Artificial lures can be used. These baits are made of plastic, wood feathers rubber metal foam and other materials. Artificial lures come as many styles and sizes. They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. It is easy to cast lures into the water and it doesn't take much skill. Easy to set up, and easy to retrieve when they reach their target.
If you do not want to use live bait or if you just want to try some new techniques then you might consider learning how to cast. Casting is one way to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
You will need a rod, reel and line. A simple pole is enough to cast with. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. You then slowly lower your rod's tip to the water. The line will begin unwinding from the reel once it reaches the water. You can let go of your rod when the line reaches its full length and the lure will fall into the water.
Trolling is another method for 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 methods are easier than others, but they all require practice.
