FAQ
Where can I buy my fishing supplies?
You can purchase all of these items at most sporting goods stores. However, if you are looking for something specific, you may want to check online. Many websites offer everything you need, from tackle boxes and lures to rods or reels.
How do I get started fishing?
Before you get out on the water, you will need to be familiar with the basics of fishing. First, you need to learn about the different types of fish in your area. It is also important to understand where fish like to hang out in order to find them. Once you have established the best areas for fishing, you will need to practice casting. This means learning how to throw a lure into the air and letting it fall back down onto the surface of the water. Practice makes perfect!
What type of fishing license do you need?
A fishing license must be purchased if you plan on fishing in state waters (i.e. rivers, lakes and bays). According to state laws, anglers must have a valid fishing permit before they can fish. If you plan to fish within federal waters (e.g. Great Lakes, oceans), a license is required. A fishing license is not required. However, you will need to check with the authorities before you take any fish home.
How often should I change my lures?
Every few days, lures should be changed. Lures tend to lose effectiveness after being left out in the sun too long.
Which rod do I choose?
Graphite fiberglass composite is the best material for fly fishing. This material is strong, lightweight and has great casting properties. To cast better, you must practice with graphite rods.
What is the ideal length of a fishing rod?
The type of fish you are trying to catch will determine the length of your fishing rod. If you're going for smallmouth bass, a 6'6" rod would be ideal. If you want to catch largemouth bass, however, a 7’5" rod might be more suitable.
