Hey there.

Conventional wisdom says that if you’re fishing a creek for trout, you should cast your lure upstream and retrieve diagonally downstream. 

However, there are many benefits to casting downstream when creek fishing,

There’s a lot to learn if you're just starting to fish and knowing how to put line on a reel is up high on the list of essentials. Although it’s simple to do, spooling fresh line on a reel can be confusing, but we’ll get you casting in no time flat.

Working your bail and spool while making long and accurate casts can be big fun. But those casts don’t always make sense. Sometimes more finesse is required if you want to get your lure in more difficult but less-fished locations.

When’s the best time to fish? If you love fishing, the only bad day is the one where you aren’t on the water. But there are certainly better and worse conditions for catching fish, and countless variables that can be considered.

If you plan to keep your catch, you’ll want some way to bring it along as you continue fishing. DIY fish stringers made out of cordage are cheap and compact, so it’s worth keeping a couple of them with your other fishing gear.

They say that nothing worth having comes easy, and this is certainly true  when it comes to catching fish. Learning how to fish is anything but easy.  And yet, once you get the hang of it, fishing becomes more than just fun.
