by Todd Gibson

If you do not fish, you might think any old rod will do in any old situation. It will not. Would you use a putter on the driving range of a golf course? Of course not.

Tips For Fishing Trips

by Bryan Jakes

Fishing can be a fun and exciting time for your family as long as nothing goes wrong. Danger lurks out there for the unsuspecting and unprepared.

Preparation and precautions taken ahead of time can save you a lot of grief in the end. Preparing ahead of time for tangled lines, bad weather and other fishing equipment malfunctions can save the day.

Tangled lines are one of the most frustrating things you may have to deal with when fishing along banks that have a lot of brush and undergrowth. Take immediate action to get your line untangled if you’ve thrown your lure into a brushy area. If it’s tangled on a small branch or twig sometimes the easiest thing is to break the snare off.

Albright knots are employed in joining together your fly reel backing line and your fly line. Remember as you tie this knot to wind your loops neatly around the loop of the larger line to ensure that it will pass through your guides easily.
