Carrying Worms While Fishing

If you're anything like me, you like to fish with live worms. Carrying live worms can be a pain in the butt. You have to carry that bulky Styrofoam container around with you the entire time you're fishing. In my case, I walk two or three miles every time I go fishing, crossing the river four or five times in the process. Because of all of this moving around, I would have to put the Styrofoam worm container inside a pocket of my fishing vest. This always resulted in the Styrofoam container breaking, plus pulling out the container every time I needed a worm was a complete hassle.

On one fishing trip I came up with an idea. What if I could take my worms fishing with me, and not have to take the container they come in? I came up with the idea of a little pouch. What if I had a little pouch or bag that I could attach to myself that would hold my fishing worms? So I did exactly that. Once I saw the "bait bag", I liked it, but then wondered if it would actually work? It seemed like the worms would crawl out, if they were just transferred to the bag for the day of fishing? So I tried it. I transferred the live worms into the bag.

Can you guess what happened? The little buggers didn't move. They just sat there waiting to be used. The worms nestled in the bottom of the "bag", like a baby kangaroo in its mothers pouch. It was amazing. Now the worms were hanging right on the front of my vest for easy access. My worms were literally "at my fingertips".

That was nearly 20 years ago, since then the bag has gotten a little bigger and looks better, but the technique of carrying my worms has remained the same. To me, Styrofoam containers are just what I buy the worms in, and then as soon as I get to my fishing area, the worms are transferred into my bait bag, so my worms are at my fingertips ready to be used. I would suggest that you get your hands on a bait bag, whether you make it yourself or buy it, so you too will never have to worry about those stupid Styrofoam containers again. Once you begin employing a bait bag to carry your live worms, you will never fish without it.

Once in a Lifetime Fly Fishing on the Cimarron River

Two of my favorite New Mexico rivers to fish are the San Juan River and Cimarron River. This story is about the Cimarron. The Cimarron River is in Northeast New Mexico and emanates out of Eagle Nest Lake. Located on the eastern edge of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this dry fly gem flows eastward through Cimarron Canyon State Park along US Hwy 64. After flowing into several other rivers this water ultimately reaches the Mississippi River. New Mexico Game and Fish estimates nearly 4,000 catchable sized wild browns per mile, this is unquestionably the healthiest wild brown trout fishery in the state and one of the healthiest in the southern Rocky Mountains. Most of the wild browns are 10-14 inches with the occasional big boy. This fishery is not well known but can still get a little crowded close to the roads during mid summer.

I can easily get to the Cimarron within a one-day hard drive from my Fly Shop near Tyler, Texas and be fishing late that afternoon or early the next morning. The high mountain scenery is beautiful and the fishing is great.

My story begins in the middle of June 2002. During June, the stonefly hatch is in full swing on the Cimarron and big browns will eagerly attack a size 14 or 16 Stimulator with regularity. This is my favorite time of year to fish this river. This is dry fly fishing at its best.

Unfortunately, if you remember, this was during the time wild fires were engulfing many parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. The Cimarron Canyon State Park was surrounded by a couple of such fires.

I arrived at the Pine Ridge Hotel, only about a mile from quality fishing water, late Monday evening. This is a quaint little four-room hotel nestled near the entrance of the state park. After checking in, the hotel owner told me that the park was closed and had been since Friday. Because of the fire dangers, it was closed to everything including camping, hiking, picnicking and YES? fishing. Every park pull off was barricaded in bright yellow. It seems like every other tree had a Park Closed sign nailed to it. I couldn?t believe it. I had driven 12 hours strait to spend some personal time dry fly fishing and? wouldn?t you know it? No Fishing. I was sick. If you have ever wanted to see a big man cry this would have been a great opportunity.

There were no other places near by that I could fish unless I had a guide to fish some private waters that were near by. I called my good friend, Doc Thompson, of High Country Anglers. Doc is the best fly fishing guide for the small streams of Northeast New Mexico including some private areas of the Cimarron. He was booked. No chance for me to fish any private water.

I was considering cutting my losses, packing up my gear and heading home with my tail tucked between my legs when I saw the park ranger turn into the motel parking lot. I eagerly approached him, explained my predicament and pleaded with him to be merciful on this misguided Texan. He indicated that there was little he could do. He was ordered by higher-ups to close the park. The area was very dry and the fear of the forest fire spreading was at an all time high. He finally gave me a miniscule window of hope when he said that if the wind didn?t pick up or change directions during the night he would ask if he could open the park the next day. No guarantees. There was only a small chance of things falling my way but I decided to wait it out and see.

The next morning, bight and early, I walked to the hotel owners desk with my fingers and toes crossed. ?Great news? the owner said, ?you can fish.? The park ranger called the hotel and told the owner to go tell Tex he can fish. The ranger opened the park to fishing only. No one could camp, hike or picnic. Fishing only. Best of all, he left all of the barricades and Park Closed signs up. My head began to buzz with this scenario. Could it be true? Is it possible that any where in this country there is a stream that is full of big browns, full of fish eager to slam dry flies, has had no fishing for five days, has Park Closed signs on every other tree and has bright yellow barricades at every pull off? Is this really happening? And most of all? is this really happening to me? YES? it was!!!

I almost broke a leg and a fly rod getting to river so quick. I was the only person fishing this 12-mile stretch of quality trout water. The ONLY person. The river has had no fishing pressure for five days. None. Notta. Absolutely zero. What a magnificent opportunity. I hit the water at 8:00 am. Knowing that the stonefly hatch would began at a bout 9:00 am, I tied on a size 16 yellow Stimulator with a Copper John dropper on my 2wt rod. For the next hour, the catch was 50/50 on the dry and nymph. When the hatch started, I removed the nymph in order concentrate on the dry. My stimulator was repeatedly demolished by hungry trout. The hatch started around 9:00 am and eventually tapered off around 2:00 pm as the day warmed. During that time, I landed more than 40 nice brown on a dry. Most of them were in the 10 to 12 inch range. Some a little smaller and some a little bigger. The whole time, I saw no other person on the river. I was in total fly fishing bliss. Later that afternoon, as the temperature began to drop, they started hitting hard again and did so until just before dark. I lost count of the total number of fish that I caught that day. After a while you just quit counting. The fishing was phenomenal and the solitude was even better.

During the day, when I would take brake at my parked Jeep for a shot of Joe or something, people would drive buy giving me the stare of disgust. I could see their lips mumble something like, ?that idiot Texan? can?t he read the signs?? I was in no way interested in setting them strait. I wanted the entire state on New Mexico as well as the whole wide world to think the park was completely closed and may never open again.

That evening, back at my room, the harsh realities of that summer were vivid. I sat on my front porch and watched the helicopters and other large aircraft drop loads of water on the forest fires that were scattered along the mountainside. Huge walls of smoke draped the horizon. I couldn?t help but become sorrowed because of the destruction that was unfolding before my eyes. When it was too dark to see, I retired to the confines of my room.

Later that night, as I lay packed tight in my cozy little bed, I found it difficult to sleep. As my mind drifted from the fires outside and danced with thoughts of my day of fishing, I giggled as I felt myself swelling with contentment. My angling experience kept running through my mind. I couldn?t help but wonder what the next day would bring. Would my fly fishing solitude come to an end? Guess what? it didn?t.

I hit the park early the next morning to be faced with the very same scenario. The signs and barricades were still in place and no one was in sight. Using the same flies and techniques I enjoyed equal success as I had the day before. It wasn?t until late that afternoon did I see the only other car in the park. The word was finally out. By then, it was OK. I enjoyed a few hours of good fishing the next morning before heading back to Tyler.

Is there a moral here? I don?t know. It was defiantly a fishing trip that I will never forget. In retrospect, however, it seems really unfortunate that my memorable fishing trip was at the expense of so much. The southwest lost an awful lot of good forest and helpless wildlife during that horrible time. Homes were gone and lively hoods were destroyed. I suppose the saying remains true, ?someone?s good fortune is usually at someone else?s expense.?

Need to purchase a new fishing rod?


A true mark of the fisherman is his fishing rod. There are many types available, many to choose from. But, choosing the fancy colored one isn't going to help you get the fish you are hoping to catch. Yes, it might be eye catching, yet if it is not the proper fishing pole, it isn't going to hook a single fish for you!

Fishing poles or fishing rods are easy to find. You may find that a local fishing store or even sporting goods store will offer the type of fishing rod you are looking for. Some will look to purchase a customer fishing rod. That choice is yours, of course, but research what you need and want, along with the expenses involved.

Fly fishing will require a strong fishing rod or fishing pole. You will need to strength behind it to fight the currents and the snap when casting. When looking at fishing rods, consider the reels as well. They need to be strong, smooth, and sensitive to the friction it will undoubtedly receive. When purchase these, it is wise to compare several name brands. Notice their specifications and then choose based on what is available and what you feel meets your needs. Choosing the most expensive name brand you can find, will not necessary be the best choice.

Another great option available is purchasing your equipment online. Simply going to the store will not give you any advice besides what the sales clerk knows. Maybe he is an experienced fisherman and can give you all the direction you need. Chances are, you will not meet someone who knows enough to help you though. Just try to enter your local sporting goods store and ask that teenage salesperson what types of freshwater fishing he has done. But, shopping online may provide to be a wonderful option. Not only do you have the ability to shop anytime and in your p.j.'s if you choose, but you can also gain the knowledge of true freshwater fishing enthusiasts. Websites offer advice and opinions, and some offer customer feedback as well. There are many sites that specialize in each area of fishing. Just reading the information on these sites will give the reader an immense amount of information.

Why I Learned to Love Fishing

Fishing has been in my blood for nearly 50 years. As a youngster of 4 and 5 years old I remember riding the train from Union Station in Toronto, northbound for 4 hours through farmlands, then trees and bush and rock to my Dad's home town of Britt, Ontario. Britt was a lazy little town on the tea-coloured Magnetawan River that flowed west to Georgian Bay (Lake Huron). It had coal docks, the CPR, the Catholic church and I think everyone was somehow my relative there. Later we would drive our family station wagon and it was rare that we didn't spend some time there every summer.

My Dad told us stories of dancing northern pike, muskies almost 6 feet long and pickeral (walleye) to fill the freezer for the kitchen table. We dreamed of latching on to a 15 or 20 pounder and being the hero like my cousin Rino when he caught a big muskie on a hand cord and paraded it around town in the back of an old chevy convertible.

Uncle Alphonse, Dad's older brother would take Dad, my brother Boboosh (my grandfather called him that and the name stuck), my cousin Louis and I out on the river in his motor boat and if we had enough time we would wander out into Georgian Bay to the 30,000 Islands in search of smallmouth bass. Before heading out we would stop at the marina and stock up on chocolate bars and pop and the dads would get their "Black Label Beer". We were living on the edge.

The men would fish the river for muskie, pike and walleye as we trolled downstream to thousands of rock islands created within the famous Canadian shield and dotted the outlet to big water. Sometimes they would let us troll but we always seemed to get the lousy fishing gear because ours consistently ended up in a death tangle that even the most patient fisherman cursed.

I'm sure glad that Uncle Al knew his way around those islands because we could never figure out the maze through which he took us. It was really cool, when we were old enough, they would dump us off on our own island and let us cast to chunky smallmouth bass for hours on end. If it was too hot we would just go swimming in our underwear and fake being bitten by some huge killer pike.

When we got home we would watch my uncle clean all the fish except for my Dad's because "he could clean his own damned fish". We would laugh and challenge each other to poke the fish guts with our bare hands or squish them in newspaper until Aunt Rina threatened us with the wooden spoon.

Every year we would go back, at least until I was about 15 and started working during the summers. We would leave with stories of climbing the rocks or conquering some poor porcupine and sleeping in the old caboose that the CPR entrusted to my uncle. Come to think of it, it was probably his office.

I learned to love fishing because the people around me loved fishing. They made it a challenge, they make it fun. It always left us wanting to come back for more. Those memories took me into fatherhood with tales of my own to share with my son's. They have moved away now but we look forward to getting together each year to thrash around and tell stories that we would have never shared 10 years ago.

Fishing is special to me. I anticipate each new season with the same passion as I remember the past. It's something I've learned to enjoy by myself but I'd much rather share the experience with anyone who love's it as much as I do but never seem to catch as many as me!

Dave Ouellette lives in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada and has been fishing for almost 50 years. During his 25 years in Kamloops he has fished over 100 lakes in the Kamloops Region alone. He currently operates an outdoor activity site at best-in-british-columbia that focuses on the Best Fly Fishing Lakes in the BC Interior.

Cold Weather Bass Fishing In Late Fall

When late fall comes around most anglers slow down on their fishing. Yes, the catch may be slower but you have to remember one thing?..the last thing a bass wants to do in the late fall is go deep, even with a cold front as long as their plenty of shallow cover. Wood is an excellent place for bass in the late fall, especially submerged and laydown trees.

Jigs, spinnerbaits, small crankbaits like the Little N, all are good lures to use at this time of year. Fishing pockets is also very productive this time of year. Remember to fish a spinnerbait lengthways down a submerged tree and lead the lure using your rod so it bumps off of big limbs from the tree.

Try using SuspenDots on the crankbaits to catch those suspended fish. Fish the trees by points and coves. Fish slower and don?t run from spot to spot but fish an area thoroughly. If you can fish trees submerged where one end is in about 7-9 feet of water, make sure you fish it.

Try deadsticking a Senko, I have had a lot of luck in late fall with this method, fish it slow and let it set for a little longer than you think you should.

Overall, the best I have done is with a little crankbait with a SuspenDot and fishing submerged trees on a point in fairly shallow water. Just because the temperature is lower doesn?t mean you can?t have a good day of fishing even if you have a cold front to
go along with it.

Charles E. White has fished 50 years for bass from California to Florida. In his lifetime, it is estimated that he has caught over 6,000 bass. His biggest bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce that hangs on his wall in his office. His tips and techniques have helped many people who have never fished for bass before become successful anglers. He also has fished with the Pros in Florida. His website is at: bassfishingweekly

Deep Sea Fishing For Pollock In Maine

Pollock are considered to be the most active member of the cod family, and are found readily in seas off the coast of Maine. Though not renowned as being a particularly big fish, pollock are still considered to be one of the best off-shore catches around due to their strength, speed and agility. Once hooked, pollock tend to make fast, powerful runs, which are a real challenge on lighter tackle and one which is relished by anglers up and down the coast of Maine.

Pollock can be identified by a light, lateral stripe that runs along the length of their body. The top of their bodies tend to be either olive green or a dark brown, fading to a lighter shade along their sides and a silver belly underneath. Some pollock have a tiny chin bar bell, though it is thought that this feature may be missing completely on older fish. Large adult pollock can grow up to forty inches in length and weigh in at around thirty-five pounds, though more typical fish are around a foot in length and weigh anywhere between four and fifteen pounds. Their meat can be eaten, though is not considered as good a meal as cod or haddock.

Like other members of the cod family, pollock can be attracted using a variety of baits, with those such as shrimp, herring, clams and worms considered to be the best. The technique used to catch pollock can vary, with casting, trolling and jigging all proven methods which work well. Many Maine anglers prefer to fish using light tackle, which presents a real challenge when a larger pollock takes the bait and makes a run. Heavier tackle can be used but is largely unnecessary given the average size and weight of fish caught off Maine?s coast.

Pollock are predatory fish, and tend to be found lurking near wrecks and disturbances on the sea bed, with shelves and ledges making particularly good places to fish. Pollock are fairly common off the coast of Maine, and popular areas to fish include the Gulf of Maine and the south-western area of Scotian Shelf. Both areas are renowned for cod and haddock as well as pollock, making them popular destinations for chartered fishing trips.

Though pollock are one of the smaller fish targeted by deep sea fishermen, their speed, agility and fighting nature present everyone from the absolute beginner to the seasoned angler with a fierce challenge.

Icefishing-For Beginners

Have you ever tried fishing in the winter months? This is the time everyone gets out on the lake. Even if you dont own a boat you can fish those places you always wanted to.

Here are a few tips on ice fishing. First of all, you dont need a lot of fancy equipment.A set of five tipups and a hand auger are all you need to get started.

A set of basic tipups with line will cost around seventy-five to a hundred bucks. Tipups are a simple affair where you set the cross sticks on the ice with your spool below the water line. Unless there is a lot of snow on the ice this should not be a problem as the
water will even out to the top of your hole. I know youre saying, how do you keep the line from freezing? This is accomplished through the use of braided line, sometimes called squid line. Theses lines are usually 18-25 pound test. Fill your spools to within 1/4 inch of the rim, for that big one that wants to run. After you have done this its time to add a leader. I normally use 8-14 pound test monofillament. If you are on a lake with a lot of
large fish go with heavier leaders. I use a swivel between my squid line and leader. This gives the bait a chance to move around without twisting the line. It also makes it easier to change hooks, just buy the pretied leaders and hook them on your swivel and youre ready to go fishing.

Finding Bait
Dont know what the fish are biting on? A stop at your local bait shop will get you some pretty good tips on what is working. Its a good idea to pickup a couple different types of baitfish. You never know what they are biting on today. Pick up a dozen of two different
types to get started. When hooking the bait on the hook I like to hook them just behind the dorsal fin. Most fish will take the bait from the rear, so you want the hook where it
will do the most good.

On The Lake
Now youre on the lake with your traps in hand and you need to get to the fish. This is where your auger comes in. Whether you opt for a hand auger or a power auger, you need
to find a place to fish. A good place to start is around points, as fish use these spots to find bait fish year round. If you know of a deep hole within walking distance, head out
there without further delay. Fish will hang on the edges of the hole looking for baitfish all year. Get that auger powered up and lets drill some holes. Drill a couple to start with and
after you get a couple of traps set up drill the other three. Be sure to check your states lawbook as some places restrict the number of traps. If you dont get any flags after a while, dont be afraid to move.
Thats just about it for getting started. Make sure you are dressed for the weather to make your day more enjoyable. Dont forget the kids, they make good runners when the bait bucket is out by the last trap in line.
Stay warm and good fishing.

Everything About How To Lay Your Hands On The Ultimate Fishing Equipment

Do you consider yourself a great fisherman? There are people for which fishing is a way of life. In the past I worked with a guy who just loved fishing more than anything else in life. He dreamed in fact of his very own shop in which he would sell baits and tackles. Nevertheless this dream was never going to become reality in his opinion due to the huge competition. Some of his feared enemies were Wal-Mart. He always emphasized the fact that it was extremely hard for him to keep up with the big boys. I asked myself a question: "Why would anyone pay more for fishing equipment when they can just head to Wal-Mart and get it for pennies?" Thats the well knows Wal-Mart policy. You can buy everything from China and thus put our own workers out of jobs. So Wal was not such a good guy after all. Leaving all this behind I would like to stress the fact that one aspect of enjoying your annual fishing adventure is quality fishing equipment. Everything centers around a professional fishing equipment in order to fully enjoy your fishing trip. You want a pole that puts the old Huck Finn rod to shame. You should get ready for your next fishing expedition! Are you?

There would be another very important question namely where you would shop for quality fishing equipment. I am absolutely positive that some people would head directly to one of those outdoor outlets like R.E.I. or Pro Bass. However you must not misunderstand what I want to say. It was not my intention to diminish the product quality of these stores. I only want to stress the fact that these stores are not the only ones on the market that offer great products. Have you ever give it a thought to check in the World-Wide-Web when searching high and low for quality fishing equipment? If you say no, then you definitely should also consider this option. On the internet you can find everything you are looking for. If only this happened as I was a kid. We used to go fishing with dad all the time. We lived right in the proximity of the Mississippi, so it was rather convenient. In all honesty I had nothing to do with fishing. I used to hate the mosquitoes and also the heat. I consider myself more a winter person. That must be the reason for which I used to like ice fishing so much more. In the case of ice fishing there were no nasty mosquito bites, no blistering hot sun and scorched skin. So this was the way to get it done.

It is very important that I know what you are searching for this very minute. It is quality and reliable fishing equipment that you are after. Only a rookie fisher would actually think its all the same thing. Its in fact never all the same. Everybody must get what one paid for in life. Is a BMW the same as a Mercedes? I dont really think so! So, my advice would be to kick back and relax on your sofa with your laptop next to you. Just use the well known Google search engine and simply start browsing for the best fishing equipment in the whole wide world.

All in all you must know that you have absolutely everything at your very fingers ... so you are in charge. Isnt it absolutely great to have a technology like this?

Have you ever thought of taking an angling trip to Canada? Fishing in the great North can be exciting and rewarding in ways you?ve never expected. Canada is home to a wide variety of sport fish species, including salmon, bass, trout, pike, and walleye.

Fly Fishing Freestone Rivers

In the first of this series on types of rivers, we examined the pristine spring creek. In this second part of the series we will look at freestone rivers. Freestone rivers make up the majority of the world's free flowing cold water rivers. So named for the rock and gravel that make up their riverbed. As most fly fisher's know rock and gravel are vital to trout, steelhead, salmon and other species that rely on these substances to make their redds during spawning season.

Typically, for fly fishing, freestone rivers are of most importance in the mountainous regions. Where snow melt, glaciers, springs, and rivulets, come together to form a river. Usually a fast flowing, cold, well-oxygenated river. One that has aerobic, active forms of life including insects and the corresponding fish that lives on them. Because of the rock and other debris that line the freestone bed and banks, trout and their insect prey have an array of places to lie. The currents, however help the trout with their turbulence, and whirling nature constantly offer up a plethora of insect life for the choosing.

It is a double edged sword however, as the freestone giveth, the freestone taketh away. No other major river form in this series suffers so much from the forces of nature. Temperatures can be extreme as are water flows. Flash floods can give way to drought conditions in some cases over night. As well as longer cyclical climate forces can enforce their will. Both insect and fish populations can fluctuate wildly.

But what thrives is the heartiest of the hearty. Fish that used to having to survive, indeed it is in their DNA, as well as the flies. Stoneflies, mayfly crawlers and swimmers, and those glorious caddis flies all call freestone rivers home.

When heading out to fly fish a freestone rivers, be ready with a myriad of fishing flies. The infamous patterns that conjure up afternoons spent fighting and releasing feisty hard nosed trout will all be effective in the freestone. Nymphs including the biggest names, Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail, Prince, and dry flies like Adams, Parachute patterns, as well as hair wings, all were made for freestone rivers.

Iin the early season be ready for high, fast and cold water. Wading can be dangerous, but often unnecessary as high waters will bring fish close to the bank, taking advantage of pockets and undercuts, that normally are not there. And, remember that river bottoms can change over the winter, so even a familiar river can have unforeseen wading hazards.

Smallmouth Bass Fishing

One of the most enjoyable fish to catch in the entire world is the Smallmouth Bass. Smallmouth Bass prefer clear cold water. These fish can be found in both lakes and running water. Pound for pound the smallmouth bass is widely considered the most enjoyable fish to catch. The smallmouth bass is a good natural indicator of healthy water. If you find Smallmouth Bass, you more than likely will find healthy water.

Because of their hearty nature smallmouth bass can be found in waters from Maine to Calofornia. The only places that you won't find smallmouth Bass aare area's where it's extremely hot for extended periods of time. They prefer cooler, cleaner water, which means they can be found all over the continent of Canada as well. As mentioned earler, these fish can be found in both lakes and running water.

One of the most enjoyable ways to catch these fish is in river situations. Combining their natural tenacity and fighting ability with moving current can be a lot of fun for anglers of all skill levels. Smallmouth Bass feed on a variety of prey and there are various ways to fish for them. Fishing for them in the same manner that one would for trout is a grewat way to spend an afternoon. Smallmouth Bass tend not to be quite as wary as trout and can be a bit easier to catch. They love live bait of all kinds, but some of the most popular would include: minnows, worms, helgramites, and leeches. Rigging any of these live baits with a set of gang hooks is a very effective method of fishing for Smallmouth Bass.

Any variety of lures can be employed to effectively fish for Smallmouth Bass. Some of these would include: spinners, spoons, minnow initations (such as rapala's), spinner baits, and top water lures. Catching Smallmouth Bass on topwater lures is incredibally enjoyable and quite effective as well.

The bottom line is that in lake situations, smallmouth bass can be fished for in much the same ways largemouth bass are fished for, with minor variuations. And in river situations, smallmoutyh bass can be fished for in much the same way as trrout. Such as bouncing a worm rigged on a set of gang hooks off the bottom, while it flows through the current. There are few experiences that can compare to catching a 4 or 5 pound Smallmouth on ultralight spinning gear in a flowing river. That might very well be the definition of a good time!

Salmon Fishing

General salmon information and fishing tips:



1. Generally, the best times of the day are during the times when there is low light and so too, on cloudy days. On bright and sunny days, salmon will usually collect and assemble deep in the holes.



2. Take note that salmon do not feed while in the river. When they do strike, it is a behavior that is learned. Salmons are known to be predatory and aggressive when in the lake, up until they go into the river.



3. Set the hook by yanking downstream with your rod three times. To get a better set, pulling on the line with your free hand can help. Sometimes, when you lift the rod straight up, it will pull the fly out of the mouth of the salmon.



4. In order for the hook to go through the thick jaws of the salmon, you should always sharpen your hooks.



5. Fishing with a partner can be enjoyable and at the same time help each other to spot a salmon. While one is fishing, the other can be high up on the other side of the bank observing the reaction of the salmon and where exactly they are. Polarized glasses are very helpful when doing this and would bring satisfying results.



6. Finding a good hole where there are many salmon inside and you can fish there for the whole day!



7. Your weight as well as the length of the tippet should be adjusted so that it matches the holes depth and the depth of the fish. Your weight should not drag, but should only touch the bottom every now and then. Note that a tippet that is three feet long will set the fly six inches up to two feet off the bottom.



8. By adding a foam indicator at the top of your fly, you can get your fly higher in the water column.

The Challenges Of Saltwater Fishing

Whether you are fishing out in the sea or in a river, there are always challenges to get round. It is necessary to have patience and try your utmost to catch the fish when they finally turn up.

First of all, you will need to get a fishing license from your local government and the laws regarding fishing are different depending on what state you live in.For salt water fishing you will have to get a boat. Depending on how many people join you, the vessel size would vary from a row boat to a yacht.

In shore fishing can be done on a fifteen foot sailboat with a cuddy forward to shelter passengers from the rain. The boat needs to be sturdy so that waves or bumps along the beach and rocks don?t affect it but it shouldn?t be too heavy.

Start by throwing your line out at the edges not the middle so that it doesn?t scare the fish away. You will encourage the fish in the middle by sticking to the edges. A cod line will be a benefit to a person who wants to go ?down below?. You can use a perch line as well. If it is mackerel fishing season, you can benefit from a mackerel jig too.

The best time to start fishing is on ebb tide. That is early in the morning because that would make your day more productive and if the wind it light or fair, it would help you on your journey home. Try to find a spot where the locals go fishing. That is your best bet for a successful day.

Don?t be too impatient, many anglers would move from one spot onto the next and this motion may reduce your chances that day. Start from the shallowest spot to the deepest, throwing your line out a few times without changing your bait.

Another thing that may affect your fishing chances are sharks. If you have one following you, pour fish blood onto a newspaper or a paper towel. Roll it into a ball and throw it overboard. The sharks will follow the current and the fish will return thereby increasing your likelihood of obtaining fish.

Quick And Easy Way To Your First Salmon Fishing Adventure

Your First Fishing Rod:



The most important piece of equipment is a fishing rod and the best place to purchase a rod is at a real pro shop or bait and tackle shop. Pro shops usually have a really good return policy. If you get a rod that is not comfortable for you, too stiff or too flexible, too long or too short, they will usually exchange it for a rod that will work better for you. They want your return business for things like bait and tackle.



The Place:



The best place to fish for salmon is in the river when they come up to spawn. The local pro shop should be happy to provide you with the best times for fishing salmon. Salmon spawn at different times and come up the rivers at different intervals throughout the season, so planning is important if you want to fish when the salmon are spawning.



The Boat:



Best to have a flat bottom river boat, but those are expensive. It may not be a good idea to take a regular "V" hull lake boat into the river because the depths can be too shallow and unpredictable.



The Guide?



Another exciting way to experience your first salmon trip is by hiring a guide. You'll learn more from the guide then on your own. It can be pricey, but it's worth it. Something to think about.



Shore Fishing



No boat? No worries. Fishing from shore is a wonderful way to experience this fantastic hobby as well.



The Bait:



Ask the at the pro shop what works best in your area or the area you are going to fish. They usually suggest salmon eggs. They are cured in many different ways and everyone has their favorite. The reason why you would want to use salmon eggs is because after salmon spawn, the parent fish stay around the nest to protect the eggs from predators like trout.



The currents will also carry the eggs away. When this happens the parent fish gently pick the eggs in their mouth and bring them back to the nest. So, when you dangle salmon eggs in the water after the salmon have spawned, they will see the eggs and assume that some have floated out of the nest. When they go to retrieve them, they get hooked!



The Catch:



Take along an ice chest filled with ice to keep your catch fresh. You may want to have a couple of five gallon buckets as well. One bucket for cleaning your catch. Another bucket to keep the ready-to-eat gutted and cleaned salmon in. If you clean it before you take it home, you avoid the smelly bloody mess in your kitchen. A third bucket could be used to save salmon eggs gutted from a female. You can save the egg sack and cure it later. You can learn more about how to cure the eggs, or roe, online or talk to someone in your local pro shop for suggestions.



The Filleting:



You can cut your fish in two ways, steaks or fillets. Salmon steaks are the easiest way to cut them up. Filleting takes a little more practice. You will probably destroy the first few you try to fillet. Don't worry, all those little mangled pieces can be smoked and turned into a salmon dip. Mmm good!



The Cooking:



There are many ways to cook salmon. Pan fry, BBQ, roasted or even smoked. If you do decide to smoke your salmon pieces, be sure not to dry them out too much.



Here's a simple recipe for salmon dip.

One cup smoked salmon

Two 8 oz packages of cream cheese

Half cup chopped onion

Salt, pepper, garlic, to taste



Now you have it; go out there and catch some salmon!

This Is The Best Bass Fishing Tip You'll Get Today!

Bass fishing can be a real game of patience at times and this is what separates the successful angler from the non-successful. What do I mean? Well, one of the best bass fishing tips you'll ever receive is when a technique is not working, change it!

Too many times stubborness sets in and a little laziness. If the fish aren't biting and you promised the little lady fish that night then you'd better be prepared to do a little work during the slow times! There's nothing worse than getting home and copping a dose of ridicule from your biggest fan!

Bass Fishing Tips

Ever had a day where you cast your line and nothing happens. Come on, you'd be lying if you didn't! Those type of days test even the most experienced bass fishermen but imagine how frustrating they must be for those anglers who have decided to take up this past time for varying reasons; to take a break from the wife, for health reasons or to just simply get out and enjoy the environment.

The truth is, most of the time bass don't see it the way you do! One of the best bass fishing tips I received was if nothing is happening, change what you're doing! How much sense does that make? It makes a lot of sense. The old saying of "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result" rings true in most walks of life. It also applies to bass fishing.

Bass Fishing Fact

For beginners intending on fishing a new lake a good tip is to get as much information as you can about the lake. A map detailing the lake's peculiarities such as water depth including shallow areas will give you a good starting point before you cast your first line.

Some Bass Fishing Tips

When things aren't happening and the fish aren't biting consider making a few changes. Too many times anglers will just leave a line in the water and hope the tide will change. Maybe a bass is dumb enough to take pity on you and will just grab your line to help you out a little. Or, you head for the esky and rip a top off your favorite drink and simply wait it out.

No, if things are going to start happening you have to make them happen. There will be days when the bass are just biting on everything you cast at them and there will be days when they are just not interested in what you have to offer. This is when you need to get a little inventive.

Bass Fishing Street Smarts

You can make it happen or at least give yourself every chance to swing things your way. You'll get many bass fishing tips in your life time and probably give out a few as well but the best tip I can give you today is, don't settle for medriocrity when things look bad. That's why it's called fishing!

Learn How to Prepare Your Best Ever Fishing Trip in 10 Easy Steps

1. What are your fishing priorities?

Identifying your priorities is one of the first things you must do to plan a great fishing trip. Just saying you want great fishing is not good enough; you need to be more specific. Great fishing may be perceived differently by each person in your fishing party. One person might be happy with catching 15 fish per day, while another might be expecting 25 fish per hour. So, you need to decide this up front.

2. What type of fish do you want to catch?

While this may seem obvious, it is something that needs to be discussed. One person may want to fish for Grouper and Snapper, while others may want to go bass fishing. Since Grouper and Snapper are salt water fishes, this will really disappoint the bass fisherman as bass are fresh water fishes.

3. What is the weight of the fishing line you be using?

Depending on the type and the size of fish you want to catch you will buy the fishing line of the right weight. If the line is too light, it will snap when the fish is ?fighting? with you when it gets hooked or when you haul onto dry land

4. What is the mode of your fishing trip?

Some anglers simply enjoy catching many fish (most any size) hoping to get a few big ones. Other fishermen prefer to catch the biggest fish they can find through minimizing the number of fish caught. You need to decide which is more important to your fishing group... many fish that are not the biggest or less fish which gives a greater chance of a huge one. It should be noted that there are many places where you can do both... catch lots of fish and get some big ones.

5. What is the technique used when you fish?

Do you like to troll? Or drift? Fish in ponds? Deep sea fish? We have witness people wading in 50 feet of water thinking the fish were only a few centimeters from the surface. Unlikely to catch anything this way. Be sure you know the type of fishing your group prefers and that the lake/pond/sea will offer it.

6. Do you need other accessories for fishing?

If you prefer to have your line deep under water, it will be advisable to get a sinker. If you prefer your line not deep under water, a normal size float will be sufficient. If you going to do spinning then you have to look at various fly tackles.

7. What will you do with the fish after it is caught?

Do you want to cook the fish and have a delicious meal with your family or continue to rear it in your fish tank? Some people let the fish go when they are not the recommended size for capture.

8. How long is this fishing trip?

If you fish in the fishing pond there will be a fixed number of hours where you can spend at the ponds. Typically the pond operates two sessions, the day (e.g. 8am-8pm) and the night session (e.g. 8pm-8am). If you rent a fishing boat and go out sea fishing, you will typically spend two-three days on the boat. Make sure you bring with you sufficient fishing equipment, food and drinks and bathing products.

9. How much are you willing to spend for this fishing trip?

Depending on how much you pay will definitely impact on the type of fishing trip you'll have. Be honest. How much do you really want to spend? Are you comfortable renting a fishing boat for great sea fishing? Or would you prefer just to fish in a neighbourhood fishing pond or reservoir?

10. What is the weather going to be like?

Check out the news for the weather forecasts for the next few days. You wouldn?t want bad weather to dampen your well planned fishing trip.

So, if you really want to have a fabulous fishing trip, get started by planning just exactly what you want out of the trip and how much you are willing to spend. Do this right and you can have the fishing trip of a lifetime.
