Always wade cautiously and carefully. If you need to wade while fishing, be careful and move slowly. If you make a lot of noise, you’ll scare the fish because sound does travel under water. Take your time and do not disturb anything in the river.
A sharp fishing hook is essential when fishing. If you can slightly scratch a fingernail with it, is is sharp enough. If the hook does not scratch your fingernail, either take the time to sharpen it or use a different hook.
Check into where you can catch fish, and cast upstream of that location. Doing so will ensure that your bait is dragged across the fish’s habitat. This looks natural and can can do as much, or more, to attract a fish as your choice in bait can. This strategy works quite well if the sought after fish dwell under an obstruction.
Be mindful of what the wind is doing while fishing. If the wind picks up, the fish will most likely follow the water current and wind up congregating at one end of the lake. Cast against the wind so that your line will follow the current. If there is a very strong wind, fish may remain on the bottom when you can’t reach.
Stay quiet while fishing. Loud noises often spook fish quickly. If it is possible for you to sit in silence or speak in a low whisper, it is more likely that a nearby fish will become snagged on your line.
