About this course

Fishing Fundamentals teaches you how to choose the right rod, reel, and line for the species you are targeting, how to execute both spinning and baitcasting casts with accuracy, and how to read water to predict where fish are holding. You will tie the five most important terminal tackle knots, compare bait and lure strategies, and practice proper catch-and-release handling that maximises fish survival. The course closes with licensing requirements, Leave No Trace ethics, and a gear checklist that keeps costs sensible for beginners.
