As far as possible, don't fish alone. Always fish with a friend or a group of friends so that, in case of emergency, there will always be someone to help.
It is not a great idea to fish in shallow waters. Cast your net in shady, deep, and rocky places where the fish are more likely to be.
Remember to cast the line just in front of the fish. Let your bait down slowly without making any splash. The fish can see the things that are close to them,
but they cannot see behind them.
If you are casting your line in a haphazard manner, you need to go closer to the water to be able to cast more accurately.
Watch your bobber carefully for any movement. Whenever a fish swallows the bait, the bobber disappears under water. This means that you have caught a fish.
Don't let this excite you too much. It is important to be calm, especially at this moment.
Keep the line tight while your reel up your catch. Use your net to get the fish out of the water. Take care while you separate the hook from the fish.In the
same way, if you don't intend to eat your catch, you had better release it into the water. This will ensure that the lakes, streams, and rivers will be full
of fish always so that many more generations of anglers can enjoy this sport.
Before you call it a day, enjoy the calmness and serenity of the river.
