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.

Knowing how to tie fishing knots can make or break your experience on the water. For all the knots there are to wrap your head around, few are as valuable to memorize as the improved clinch knot and double uni knot.
