Getting started
The first trip or two present the steepest learning curve.
- Getting practical help
- For some things a quick demonstration saves hours of frustration.
- Preparations - and where to go for your first
trip
- Don't make your first trip to a storm beach or a major river. Learn the
basics in a gentler environment.
- What should I learn first - in saltwater
- Despite it being the single largest topic in the sea angling literature
DON'T start with beachcasting.
- What should I learn first - in freshwater
- ...and don't go carp or salmon fishing until you've caught some other
fish first.
