Salamanders are one of the enemies of bass eggs and will gobble them right up if the daddy bass is not diligently protecting his brood. You can also fish a weightless lizard like you would a frog on top of heavy vegetation. You can swim it over the holes in the weeds or between the […]
I’ll also come on to free fishing events in a bit, which are an ideal way to get started. Fishing Rods suitable for spinning are lightweight with a flexible tip. They are tapered with a slow action so as to provide good power at the butt of the rod, while also allowing you to flick […]
There are various options for each type of line, and each of these options has different advantages and disadvantages. With the right selection of tippet sizes and materials, anglers will be prepared for whatever fly fishing conditions they encounter and be able to adapt to changing conditions as needed. Be sure to check your tippet […]
