Fresh water fishing is fishing in lakes, rivers and streams that
have minute quantities of dissolved salts. Freshwater sources are precipitation
or melting ice and snow. There are hundreds of fresh water fish species, but
the most popular are bass, catfish, pickerel, pike sunfish, trout, salmon,
muskellunge, sturgeon and walleye.
Basic freshwater fishing equipment
includes a fishing rod and reel, fishing line between 4 and 10 pound-test, a
variety of sinkers, a variety of hooks (sizes 6 to 10), floats, bait and in
most locations, a fishing permit or license. There are a wide variety of both
live and artificial baits that work well for fresh water fishing.
Live
bait works well for fresh water fishing. Freshwater fish feed on a variety of
prey, including earthworms, insects, insect larvae, frogs, minnows, chub, shad,
crayfish and small fish species such as smelt. Freshwater fishing bait such as
earthworms, crayfish, frogs, minnows, chubs and shads can be caught in its
natural habitat. Look around piers and in shallow water. Freshwater bait can
also be purchased from your local bait and tackle shop.
Artificial
bait is manmade bait that attracts fish to bite or strike. It includes plastic
worms, insects, flies, small jigs, lures, spoons, streamers, flies, spinners
and more. Artificial bait can be purchased at fishing tackle and bait shops or
online. Some anglers prefer to buy the supplies for these types of baits and
make their own.

balls, egg bags, liver, cereal balls, chicken entrails. Here is just a short
