Identify Target Species
The very first thing a beginning angler must do before they start fishing is identify target species in their area. Without knowing what species you seek to catch, you will never know the type of gear you’ll need to get the job done. When it comes to fishing, there is a unique approach to every species. Some will require very light line that would be used for panfish or trout, whereas other approaches like fly fishing require heavy line. As you learn about the species available in your area, you will then open doors that will allow you to prepare accordingly.
