Are you planning a dream fishing trip at the lake? Lakes are great places to fish, whether you’re looking for a great fresh meal or just fishing for fun. If you’re new to fishing, we’ll tell you everything you need to know. This article will provide information on fishing gear, the best fishing spots in the lake, and last but not least, how to cast a line to catch fish.
Steps
The best lake fishing gear

Prepare a reel and fishing line. If you are new to fishing, a 2 meter long and medium weight rod will be a good choice. This fishing rod set is great for fishing for bass, lake trout and pike. [1] X Research Source Attach the reel to the fishing rod, thread the fishing line according to the instructions of each type of fishing rod to be sure.
- Use a medium-rigid rod if you plan to fish for catfish and trout.
- Vertical reels are a good choice for beginners as they are quite inexpensive and have a push button for easy casting.

Choose a hook with prongs if you want to keep the fish. A single hook with barbs is strong enough to hook most fish and is also easier to remove from the fish’s mouth. If your fishing area allows it, you can also use a three-point hook. This type of hook has 3 pointed tips to hold the fish firmly. After choosing the right hook, you will tie the hook to the fishing line. [2] X Research Source
- If you plan to keep the fish, you should check the local laws and regulations on the local government website. Many regions have regulations on the size of fish you are allowed to keep in order to conserve fish populations.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-3.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use a hook without prongs and a fish remover if you want to release the fish. A barbless hook will not have a V-shaped tip at the tip of the hook so you can remove the fish without hurting it. Choose a single hook type to minimize damage to the fish. Remember to bring a fish remover tongs too! This is a special fishing tool for removing fish from the hook. [3] X Research Sources
- If you don’t have a fish remover, you can bring a pair of pliers to remove the fish.

Bring a variety of live bait and fake bait. To increase your chances of catching fish, bring fake lures such as fish-shaped plastic lures, spinning spoon lures, and floating spoon lures. Popular aquarium fish (such as lake trout and sea bass) are often attracted to these lures because they resemble small fish and shrimp, two staples of a fish’s diet. If you prefer to use live bait (worms, minnows, crickets, etc.), you need to find out the local regulations first. When you go to the lake, hook the bait on the hook. [4] X Research Sources
- In the US, some states and regions such as Oregon and Washington prohibit the use of live bait. [5] X Research Sources
- If you are new to fishing, you should attach a float to the line so that the bait moves with the water and can help you detect when the fish is biting.

Bring a racket to catch fish. Carry a fishing net with you even if you intend to release the fish. This is the perfect tool for getting fish into shallow water and picking them up for dinner or just for a quick snap and release. You should use a racket with a short handle to make it easier to catch the fish after you catch it, and choose one made of rubber to reduce the risk of injury to the fish. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wear clothes that are appropriate for the weather and in light colors. If it’s hot, a t-shirt and shorts/shorts in a neutral color or with a camouflage pattern would work. For footwear, you can choose a sturdy pair of sandals and wear water shoes or wading boots if you need to stand in the water. In winter, you should wear long underwear, thermal socks, long sleeves and raincoats. Wear boots or wading boots to stay warm. Wear polarized sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen to protect your body.
- If you’re fishing on a boat, don’t forget to wear a life jacket.
- Avoid wearing brightly colored clothing, as it can scare the fish away.

Buy a fishing license, no matter where you fish. Guidelines may vary from region to region, but all states in the US require anglers to purchase a fishing license. You can go to the website of your state’s Fish and Wildlife Service to buy a permit, or find one that sells it (many fishing tackle stores may sell fishing permits). You can print out your permit or download a portable version to have ready to show to your local ranger.
- Fishing permits average around $25.42 for residents and $61.52 for visitors. [7] X Research Sources
- Don’t forget to buy a license! You will be fined if you are caught fishing without a license.
Place and time

Look for fish in areas with rocks and fallen branches. Fish like places where they can hide. For more opportunities, you should look for areas with piles of rocks, branches, and logs. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7c/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7c/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Find places with shade and deep water to increase your chances of catching fish. Many lake-dwelling fish such as lake trout and brook trout prefer cooler habitats. You can find cool water in spots where the water is deep, shaded and covered by trees. [9] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/52/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-10.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/52/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Check the inlet and outlet water of the lake. These areas are where rivers or streams empty into lakes. Fish often prefer to congregate in these areas because the water is cooler and the constant currents also provide a constant source of food. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6e/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6e/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Look for fish on the edges and deep slopes of man-made lakes. Man-made lakes, such as reservoirs, are often created by damming nearby rivers and streams. [11] X Trusted Source United States Environmental Protection Agency Go to source If you want to fish in an artificial lake, look for fish near the lake shore and in steep slopes (sometimes called the lakeshore area) . These places often have fish gathering because they are deep water and have a stable food source.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/23/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/23/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Look for fish in wooded and canopy areas in natural lakes. Fish usually prefer areas with plenty of shelter, so they often congregate in areas with willows, water lilies and other aquatic plants. [12] X Research Source If you plan to fish in a natural lake, look for areas with lots of aquatic plants.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Fish in the early morning or late afternoon to increase your chances of getting fish. If possible, you should start your fishing trip early in the morning when the sun has not yet risen. This way, you will have more chances to find fish because the water is still cool. If you prefer to sleep in, late afternoon or early evening is also an ideal time to fish because the sun is setting at this time, so the water is cooler. [13] X Research Source
Toss fishing line
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b4/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b4/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Draw the line until the bait is about 30 cm from the tip of the rod. Head to the position you want to cast, hold the handle of the reel and turn it counterclockwise. Stop when the bait is about 30 cm from the tip of the rod. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8b/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-15.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8b/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Press the button at the top of the reels and hold it firmly with your thumb. The fishing line will be thrown when you release your hand from the button. Hold the button tight to make sure you don’t accidentally drop the line. [15] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-16.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Hold the fishing rod straight up to the sky and swing it behind your shoulder. This is the first step when casting a fishing rod. [16] X Research Source Before you start casting, look behind you to make sure you don’t hit any people or branches.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fc/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fc/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Swing the fishing rod forward, and at the same time release your thumb to cast the line. Swing the fishing rod that is behind your shoulder forward and stop, while releasing your finger from the push button. The fishing line will be dropped into the water after this move. [17] X Research Source
Basic techniques
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b1/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-18.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-18.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b1/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-18.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Monitor the movement of the fishing line. After you cast the line, it’s just a matter of waiting for the fish to bite. To make sure you don’t miss a fish, you need to keep an eye on your fishing float or fishing line. If you see the float move or feel the tip of the fishing rod jerk, then the fish is probably taking the bait. [18] X Research Sources
- Be as quiet as possible and stay still while waiting for the fish to bite. Loud noises and movements can scare off approaching fish.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-19.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-19.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2d/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-19.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Click the lure to attract fish. Baiting is a special technique with the use of heavy hooks with bait attached (click hooks). After attaching the hook to the bait, you simply drop the line into the water. The hook sends the bait into the water to the depth you desire. At this point, you will click up and down the top of the fishing rod under the water (called click bait). [19] X Research Source
- The bait click attracts fish because it mimics the movements of creatures like shrimp and baitfish (fish’s food source). This technique works for all types of fish, including salmon and sea bass.
- To experiment with the clicking technique, you can adjust the bait click speed. Some fish are more attracted to movement than others.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fb/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-20.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-20.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fb/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-20.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-20.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Try gill fishing if you’re fishing on a boat. Toss the bait into the water behind the boat and let the bait float as the boat swims forward. This technique attracts fish by making them mistake bait for swimming creatures (such as bait fish, the main ingredient in fish food). Although there are many different techniques, an effective way to dribble without special equipment is to cast the line into the water as far as possible from the stern so that it follows the boat. [20] X Research Source
- This method can catch a wide variety of fish, but is especially effective with trout, sea bass and walleye fish.
- Some anglers use rowing hooks to fish. This temporary replacement is attached to the boat and allows you to lure the bait at a longer distance to avoid scaring the fish with noise.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-21.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-21.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c6/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-21.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-21.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Choose a new bait or relocate if you can’t catch any fish. If you’ve been fishing for a while and haven’t caught any fish, try using a new lure. Just collect the line and hook one of the other lures you have. You can also try moving to another point. If possible, look for areas with more rocks and logs, or look for water of different depths (shallower or deeper than where you fished). [21] X Research Source
- Sometimes even experienced anglers can take several hours to catch a fish, so how long you want to wait is up to you.
- If you use a lure, try a different size, shape or color to see if it appeals to more fish.
- If using live bait, you can change to another type if available.
Catching and preserving fish
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-22.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-22.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-22.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pull the fish up with quick and decisive movements as soon as you feel a fish grab the bait. The jerking motion will hook the hook into the fish’s mouth. When you feel a pull at the end of the rod or see the float sink, it is very likely that the fish has bitten the hook. To hook the hook into the fish’s mouth, you will lift the rod with a jerky motion. [22] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9f/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-23.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-23.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9f/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-23.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-23.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Hold the line taut and draw the line. Keep the line taut by pressing your finger on the line until it is tight against the rod, then use your dominant hand to pull the line counterclockwise. Continue to raise the rod and draw the line gently and evenly. [23] X Research Sources
- If the fish is struggling to get out, turn the line clockwise to reduce the tension, then pull the line again. Repeat this movement until the fish is tired after fighting with you for a while.

Use the racket to bring the fish to shallow water. Once you have drawn your fishing line, take out your racket and drive the fish into the net. If you’re going to release the fish, you must keep it underwater (the fish can die even if it’s just out of the water for a few seconds). [24] X Research Source If you have a fishing buddy, you can ask them to hold the racket to make it easier to do.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/10/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-25.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-25.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/10/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-25.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-25.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Remove the fish and drop the head in the water first. Wet your hands before handling the fish. Take the fish remover clip holding the hook and carefully remove it from the fish’s mouth. [25] X Research Source You will then submerge the fish in the water, remembering to put the fish’s head down first (while still holding the fish) so that the water flows into the fish’s mouth and gills. Continue to hold the fish with both hands until it snaps and swims away on its own. [26] X Research Sources
- If the hook gets stuck in the fish’s mouth, leave the hook in its mouth and cut the line with scissors. The hook will come out automatically after a few days, so the fish won’t bleed and hurt when you try to remove the hook.
- If you want to take a photo before releasing the fish, you should take it quickly. Just lift the fish a little out of the water and ask a friend to catch it, then submerge it in the water and don’t hold it tight. [27] X Research Source

Remove the hook and kill the fish if you want to keep the fish. First, you will take the tongs to remove the fish from the hook and remove it from the fish’s mouth, then quickly hit the fish’s body with a pestle to knock it unconscious. [28] X Research Source When the fish is unconscious, you will use a knife through the fish’s brain to kill it.
- Smashing and killing the fish while it is unconscious is a more humane approach than letting it suffocate on the shore.
- If you don’t have a pestle, you can use any blunt object to hit the fish.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b9/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-27.jpg/v4-460px-Fish-in-a-Lake- Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b9/Fish-in-a-Lake-Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Fish- in-a-Lake-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Clean and preserve fish to ensure food safety and hygiene. Immediately after killing the fish, you need to store the fish in an insulated container with plenty of ice and water to keep it fresh while you continue fishing. For maximum freshness, it is best to remove the guts of the fish as soon as you get home. If you can’t do it right away, you can keep the fish in the refrigerator and gut it within 2 days to prevent spoilage. [29] X Research Sources
- To keep fish fresh, you must ensure that the temperature in the freezer is always between 0-4 degrees Celsius.
