Always keep rain gear ready. Having backup equipment is also really important. Make sure you have two rods with you because things happen. Polarized glasses are an absolute must. Those allow you to see into the water. Mindset is the other thing to prepare. Go with a sense of adventure. Know that you're probably going to make mistakes, we all do. You might not catch fish and that's okay but you're going to learn something in the process and if you do catch fish, that's a bonus.

QuestionWhat's the ideal size rod to use when trout fishing?Community AnswerDepends on the size of trout you're after. A light-action rod will work for a small eating-size trout, but for trophy-sized trout I would suggest a medium- to heavy-action rod.

QuestionI'm going up to a lake in the summer and I want to catch a big fish. I need help because it is a big lake. What fish should I look to get?Community AnswerIt depends on how big of a lake we're talking about. A fairly big lake could produce musky, walleye, and pike. They will also have some smaller panfish. They're all fun fish to catch, but if you want something really big, I would go for musky.
