About Fishing

Fishing rewards patience and attention to detail. A bobber signals a bite by dipping below the surface, while a sinker carries the line down to where fish are holding. Trout favor cold, moving water; catfish feed near the bottom, often after dark; bass hide close to weed beds and submerged logs. An auger belongs to winter, cutting a clean hole through lake ice. Anglers who fish from a pier reach deeper water without a boat.

Reach for this page when a fishing trip, a lake unit, or a rainy weekend has someone thinking about tackle and what lives underwater.
