1547.0. "Help for beginner" by VIRGO::KEATING () Wed Feb 27 1991 14:21

    I searched for a beginners note, but no luck.  I am just beginning
    to re-learn how to fish lakes and streams here in Mass and NH. Can I
    get some advice on what basic equipment I need to start out (fly
    fishing is not what I want to do yet)and where to learn about fishing
    in lakes and streams.  thanks in advance

This is a tough question to solve in a note, although I'm sure someone will
try.  Do you ever make it to ZKO (spitbrook)?? If so, I'd be happy to spend 
some time with you.  Just ask Peter Q.

In the meanwhile, take a look at the following notes:

1126 "Starting to trout-fish"
170  "Newcomer to fishing"
748  "Newcomer asks for help"


These should get you going.

    Thanks for the quick replies.  The Legend sent me a mail message
    with a generous offer of help, too.  I haven't fished fresh water for
    years, when we had casting reels.  I remember my friend getting a fresh
    water spinning reel for his birthday, and were we jealous.  Anyway, I
    did spend a lot of time salt water surfcasting for stripers, boat
    fishing for blues and sea bass,since I grew up on the Long Island Sound
    coast of connecticut.  I am anxious to re-learn.
1547.5Fishing! Yah, NOW! let's goMCIS2::MCCARTHYFri Mar 01 1991 12:488
    T.J.K., let Me know if You can break loose on a weekday, My boat can
    take 3. I enjoy trout(lake & brn,brk & rainbow) and I will slum it for
    Bass. Remember! the worst day of fishing; is better than the best day
    of work, SORRY DEC. Don't take the jousting in these notes seriously,
    with names like LIZZARD(alias the LEGEN,KIV,KEG,PARDO,GITZIT,SLAMMER,
    LUNKAR,TIP-RAP, what can YOU expect? Our main objective is fishing,
    the Verbal-Abuse is just a sideline to remind us we are human.
