First of all check out the "Project FISH" website, the "FISH" stands for Friends Involved with Sportfishing Heritage".\n\nSecond; Beginners and Professionals rely on bobber fishing with worms, minnows or other live bait.  Many walleye are taken using a bobber and a leach.  Steelhead anglers use a bobber and a spawn bag or artificial fly to present their bait.  A bobber lets you suspend your offering in front of the fish longer, you don't get tired casting and have less chance of getting tangled up in a branch or other person!  Bobber fishing is less expensive.\n\nLastly, have fun and take a kid fishing (if you are a kid, take an adult fishing!).\n\nLet me know how you make out.\n\nAllen

White Spinners, Jigs with large fatheads or golden roaches (shiners), crankbaits, jerkbaits (rapala), Suicks, and bulldawgs (Muskie Lures).\n\nBass = Minnows, Worms, Crankbaits, Rattle Traps, Spinners, plastics crawlers/crayfish/frogs.

Appears to be good Bass fishing.\n\nWe always scope out a new place and ask the people fishing what they're catching and with what.  Also, a local bait store is good for info too.  Sometimes local tourist bureaus have a fishing report posted.\n\nHave a great time

You can use just about anything for catfish... and yes... I have used anchovies as bait before... with limited success... but I also caught a stripped bass that night too.

Well, word of mouth is a good start.  Go to bait stores, sporting stores, tackle shops.  You will find valuable answers there!

well u need to set ur braking system on the reel it should be on the side with the crank  its a little knob . and the best way i have found out to set mine is by tying on a lure and click the button and watch to see how fast ur line falls and adjust it so u can hit the relese and the bait falls really slow and work with it that way for a while and then adjust it as u get better

Yea carp are quick and are shy fish.  When i go fishing for them I use 2-3 nightcrawlers balled up on a hook (might want to use a treble because they are quick to spit it out) or chum the area with corn (helps attract carp) to the area and use 3 kernel's of corn on the hook. Doughballs, corn, and nightcrawlers are the best baits for catching carp.

It depends on what fish you are trying to catch. Somehow if you can tell me what you plan to catch, I can tell you which place is better.

The most fun is to use a top water bait.  This is the best when the season is right. In case of topwater, use a big plug, something for say a MUSKY would be good.  Be sure to change your hooks to salt water hooks since they will last longer.\n\nI tend to use Rapala because I was told by the pros that the best bait is the one with which you're most comfortable, and I learned to fish on Rapalas.  But I'd say anything is good. The price doesnt really matter.  I think one of the poppers I use is like 4.55 and it works really well. \n\nAs for color, match the ocean color to the bait. If the sky is blue, use a blue top.  If all fail, use a red nose/ white body.  Basic colors you need are blue and silver, red and white, chart, gold, silver. Orange is pretty good too in case all other colors fail.\n\nLine, I use flouro carbon.  I sometimes use a wire leader too but using a bimini twist on the leader works just as fine.\n\nAs for live food, well anything works well.  If you want to combine lure and live food, use live calamari cut in 2-3 inch slices as a trailer. This is ultra effective.

When i fished the gallatin river in mt., I used 3/8 spinner with about 4 or 5 weights on it.With the current and the weight, the lure went in the deeper pools. To catch the bigger fish pull up and back. With the 3/8 hook/spinner it will set better when given a good tug. Good Luck!

The guys who have already answered explain all that stuff. My 2 cents is that you should try a fairly cheep first fly rod. I bought one of the beginer kits at Gander mtn. But even Walmart carries them.  The reason I say this is that Fly fishing is not for everyone. My cousin and I both bought $20 rods and tried them out a few times.  His has been sitting in the bottom of the trunk of his car for almost 2 yrs now and I have been upgrading all of my equipment in that time. He just didn't get into it. I now have a few hundred invested, He has spent his money on spin rods.  Just a thought.
