Recreational fishing

My family and I started out the weekend by going fishing. We fished many hours and we hooked into some nice crappies. Our family’s seasonal camper on Lake Shamineau is where we spent most of our time fishing. Routinely spotted were large northern pike and muskies all while looking for schools of crappies and walleyes. Quietly trolling for walleyes, I happened to snag a small fishing rod. By the looks of it, that rod had been at the bottom of the lake for years. Our keep of walleyes was held to…

Finesse Fishing Finesse fishing is pretty much nothing more than "Down Sizing" a particular type of bait or lure. When it comes to winter fishing, or times throughout the year that are considered to be in-active, most anglers will find more success at catching bass by "Down Sizing" or "Finesse" fishing. Finesse fishing patterns are usually fished at a much slower rate as far as "pattern" or "technique" goes due mostly to the inactive bass during these periods. The biggest factor an angler…

this for next week. Of the many bills coming up in the State Legislature, one good one is among them. That is AB 1844 by Assemblyman James Gallagher which requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife to reduce the fee for lifetime hunting and fishing licenses for a person who is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the U.S., was honorably discharged, and is a resident of California: Status - still sitting in the Senate Committee on Appropriations.

Fishing is an easy going process, but as you get older some things are required. Did you know you can go fishing without clothes. When someone turns 16 they have to get a fishing license, because the law wants to take your fun away. Going fishing is fun when you start catching them. I normally take what I catch and eat them. You have two different reels. You have an open face reel and a closed reel. They both cast different. An open face reel has you throwing the line out into the water…

“ZOINK!” One of my cousins yanked up a huge bass. I was on the shore with my fishing pole, and so were my cousins. We were at a campground with my dad’s side of the family. We had started a tradition 1 year ago that we came to this campground every year. This year, we were doing a fishing contest. There were 4 awards: Biggest fish, smallest fish, most fish, and 1 other. I was going to try to catch the biggest fish, and not give up. I cast my line out into the lake. I stared at the bobber, not…

I thought that this day of fishing would be like every other; I get lots of practice casting but I catch nothing. This day turned out to be a whole lot different however. The lake we were fishing at in Bruneau Sand Dunes, Idaho has bluegill, catfish, and large mouth bass. I got taken out on a small kayak with my brother and an experienced fisherman named Kevin Schroeder, I had never caught any kind of fish before, and he devoted much of his time to help me land my first one. Throughout the…

I try fishing with what worked in the past. Sometimes this doesn't work either. In which case, I don't continually catch trout. I vary my fly-tying from commercial patterns, by using a different color feather or thread. Keeping a list of all the items that I need to take fishing, is crucial to me. That way, there is no question of leaving anything out when I prepare. However, I'd rather catch fish with a fly of my own design. An example: One day while I was eating at the fishing…
