Bishop, Ca.  Mammoth, Ca. I love this area.  Check out Mammoth Times.com for tons more info. I live in San Diego and really enjoy traveling the 400 miles to this area.  The fishinG is wonderful.  Trout in the 7 pound range. June lake loop is hot.  Silver Lake, on the opposite shore from  the enterance, is really great fishing in the afternoon. Must be the shadows from the trees. Georgous scenery too.  \n\nCheck out Yellowknife in the Northwest Terrotories of Canada.  Especially "Great Slave Lake".  GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FISHING!

Bass will be coming up to the shallows looking for spawning areas and food, try a plastic worm with a small weight in and around the lilly pads (texas rig style)hook point in the worm to prevent hooking the pads. Try green spinner baits around the timber letting it sink close to bottom. Most people reel crankbaits so fast only the most active fish will bite, slow down :D

Check gander Mountain.  i think I bought afew there last summer.  They are great jigs and the fish just love them!  I have to go to the Gander Mountain here and I'll check for them.  If u can't find any send me an e-mail and I might be able to send some to you.

Depends.\n\n\nWhat type of fishing are you doing? Salt or freshwater?\nWhat species of fish are you hoping to catch?\n\nIf I "HAD" to buy an "all-around", "Cheap-as-dirt",  Fly-fishing outfit it would probably be in the 7-9 weight class.\n\nAn 8WT "Reddington" or "St. Croix" rod matched with a "Ross" or "System 2" reel would do ALOT of your inshore-saltwater ,( Reds, Trout, small Drum,), & freshwater, ( Bass, Crappie, large Trout, Small-Medium Salmon), fishing. \n\nYou can get one of these outfits for around $200. Add GOOD fly-line, & backing, $260. Add flys & misc. tackle, $300. \n\nOr,  you can buy a fly-fishing "kit"  from one of the larger companys, (Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas). They will cost approx., ($275-$300), BUT, the quality of your gear will "slightly" diminish. \n \nIf you MUST go "DIRT-CHEAP", get a cheaper reel before you buy a cheaper rod. (A good inexpensive reel is a 1594 1/2 ,Pflueger reel, $40).In flyfishing, a good "fast-action" rod is "key" to success.\n\nIf you are new to the sport, don't let some "expert" tell you to buy a $500-$1000 rod!   Most $100-$200 rods will be fine for any "novice". IF , you "fall in love" with the sport & you want to buy something more "savy" try "Sage", "Scott", G-Loomis" rods, (these rods start at $130-$1200). \n\nFind a local pond to "practice" your fly-fishing skills. Bass & Sunfish flys are inexpensive, (try Walmart), and "Sunnys & Large-Mouth" are MUCH easier to catch than your average , Trout , Salmon, Red , or "Looper".\n\nGood fishing!

Probably the best way to go fishing in central CA is to get a charter boat. The folks running these boats know some good spots, but the Carmel area is tricky since it's so close to the preserve in Monterey but not in the major fishing lanes.

Department of wildlife and fisheries is the way to go, but to really get a fell for the ponds stop the small bait shops in your area, ask the old guy behind the counter he will give you the best info. Seriously I grew up outside Boston and fished the South shore for years but when I moved out to central mass, I had no idea where to begin. I stopped at a little shop out on 122 I believe. And actually talked to the guy who wrote for the Telegram. Some of the best info I have received.

Well unless you hit the jackpot of knowing someone who knows someone, who has this friend that has this cousin...... lol.... But anyhow... what you may want to do is shift to skill.  There are alot of clinics here in NC sponsored by NC Fish and Wildlife.  At alot of those clinics, you will also find people who own thier own ponds.  That gives you a two way venue.... you can work on improving your angling skills and meet people who may have thier own ponds.\n\nGenerally unless you talk to people who live near where you are... it's a no dice game. You can also take a "Sunday Drive" around your area... when you see a pond that looks like it may have potential.... stop and ask.  The worse thing that can happen is that they say no.  I have done it lots of times and it has paid off well over the years.\n\nGood luck and Happy fishing!!

you can flyfish for all species including saltwater\nyou target your species with the type of fly they might like-what type of bug do they eat?-when does it spawn?what time of day do they fly around ?etc....

when u say tourer do you mean mobile home or caravan?.... either way u if u r in England  and mean  freshwater fishing it is at the moment the closed  season so u would have 2 find a site with a lake that is open all year round so i suggest u buy yourself a angling magazine and check out the classified ads at the back and then make a few phone calls.....sorry could not be of more help but if u can find somewhere......tight lines! or decide the area u want 2 visit and try 2 get a few tackle shop phone numbers  and ask them about local waters

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

How are other people successfully marketing fishing flies in the UK?  Take a look at what they are doing, do the same thing, but do it better.

Yea buddy. if your older than 16 you do need to purchase a fishing licence!!! there cheap prolly under $15. head down to your closest bait shop. talk to the owner. if he seem to be a nice dude, tell him your new to the sport and looking to get started. locations, etc. buy some things too. bait shops are a dieing breed due to cabelas and bass pros and gander mountains. if he seems to be a bit of a jerk go to another. \nGood luck
