You know, what they always say, "Once you can ride a bike, you never forget." I wish you could say that about fishing.
I ...more have fished all my life, and indeed, some things I have mastered such as: tying a snap swivel to the string, attaching a hook with a leader, snapping on weight, and securing a bobber.
Invariably, the fishing trip begins with hiking to a good spot, preferably in the shade, and near a deep hole that comes naturally with a log on which to sit or prop the poles.
Instructed by my dad, I fish with two poles, with each having a different depth. Typically, the good spots are surrounded by bushes and trees, making casting the line challenging.
Keeping the lines and hooks from tangling takes constant effort, and often there are two fish are biting at once. As if they know what they are doing, the fish cross the lines.
Today, I managed to get the stars aligned and caught six nice fish for dinner tonight. I escaped without bug bites and poison ivy and will surely enjoy the catch of the day.
