  • Beginner's Guide to Fishing

    Beginner's Guide to Fishing

    Beginner’s Guide to Fishing www.dnr.sc.gov/aquaticed It is my hope that this guide will make your journey into the world of recreational angling (fishin’) uncomplicated, enjoyable and successful. As you begin this journey, I encourage you to keep in mind the words of the 15th century nun Dame Juliana Berner, “Piscator non solum piscatur.” Being a 15th century nun, naturally Dame Juliana tended to write in Latin. This phrase roughly translates to “there is more to fishing than catching fish.” Dame Juliana knows what she’s talking about, as she’s believed to have penned the earliest known volume of sportfishing, the beginners guide of its day, “ A Tretyse of Fysshyne with an Angle.” As you begin to apply the ideas and concepts in our beginners guide, you will start to develop new skills; you will get to exercise your patience; and, most importantly, you will begin to share special experiences with your family and friends. In the early nineties, I can remember sitting in a canoe with my four-year-old daughter on the upper end of Lake Russell fishing for bream with cane poles and crickets. My daughter looked back at me from the front seat of the canoe and said, “Daddy, I sure do hate to kill these crickets, but we got to have bait.” Later, we spent hours together in the backyard perfecting her cast and talking about how to place the bait in just the right spot. We took those new skills to the pond. The first good cast, bait placed like a pro, and a “big bass” hit like a freight train.
