Types of Fishing

Basic Equipment

The basic equipment: a rod, a line, a reel, a hook, and a lure or bait, which can be live or artificial, weights or sinkers, floats or bobbers, and spoons or spinners. You can get these at any fishing store or any place that sells fishing equipment.

Still Fishing

Use sinks a weighted line with bait and hook into the water; often a bobber is attached to the line to indicate movement if the fish should nible. Then gently pick up the rod and feel if the fish is still biting your bait. Then yank the pole up in the air and see if he's hooked on. Then reel him in slowly and see how big he is.

Still fishing has developed for freshwater ponds, lakes, and rivers and saltwater bays and oceans. It is also the most popular and the most easiest to learn or master.

Fly Fishing

The lures that look like insects or bugs. Fly fishing is increasing in popularity because of the skill involved. Fish such as bass, trout, or salmon are attracted to the flies, which land lightly on the top of the water. The difference between a fly rod and a spinning rod is that a fly rod has its reel at the very bottom instead of up a few inches. Then you pull out some line to cast and begin casting before it tangles up. You'll notice that the line slowly works its way out. If you are fishing in a stream then you will want to cast the opposite direction of the current. That way when it reaches the area where the fish are it will look more natural. Fly fishing requires patience to develop skill at the sport.

Trolling

First bait your hook with a lure or a bait. Then you let the line out into the water. Cast your bait/lure towards area of choice or where you think the fish are.
