got kids?

If you have kids 8 and under, fishing can be a great activity in the summer.Kids can go fishing at community fisheries and catch bluegill and release the and watch them swim.Trout are good stater fish too.Just use small 10-20$ sets and get out there and they'll have a ball.Have them use artificial lures or live worms and have Fun.Power bait is great for trout, just use green or red bait.

gear

When fishing you have to choose the rite gear.  For most trout fisheries, power bait, fly's, or spinners are best to use but sometimes worms are good. In rivers the current can steal bait off your hook, so I suggest lures or fly fishing.





for bass, pike, and muskies, spinners are good, but rapalas are excellent.with pike and muskies, with there toothy mouth's ,you might want steal leader line. larger baits intimidate larger fish. So with pike and muskies you may want larger lures.

Species

This nice bluegill was caught on a worm at The Kaysville ponds in Kaysville Utah. community fisheries like this one can be found almost anywhere.

If you go to Lake Powell, there are many fishing opportunity's. You can get a pole, tie a hook on, and put a grape, worm or cheese on the hook and drp it over the side of a parked house boat and catch catfish, carp, and small guppies all day. For the more experienced anglers, you can buy soft baits and  lures . bass, catfish, carp, and even pike, thrive in this lake!  http://www.rapala.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-rapala-Site/default/Default-Start
