Catch That Fish!

The spot you select to start fishing at will depend on the time of day, and the type of water. During the heat of the day on fast running streams, the deep pools that lie beneath
The riffles are general the best spots. Toward evening or in the early morning hours try floating your bait over the riffle itself, aiming for submerged logs and undercut banks and overhanging bushes.

In the heat of summer in lakes fish deep, as the fish will be seeking the coolness of the deeper water. During the morning or on summer evenings try the edges of the lake, for many fish will be feeding in shallow waters. In the early spring and late fall, lake fishing will be more productive on the edge or in shallow water because the fish will be seeking warmer water.

Sometimes fish can even be caught with your bare hands, especially in smaller streams that have undercut banks and in shallow pools left by high water. Place your hands slowly under the bank and close to the bottom, and let them reach the water temperature. Then move your fingers slightly until you come in contact with a fish. Work your hand gently along the belly of the fish until you reach the gills, and then grasp the fish firmly, just behind it’s gills. Hold on tight and lift your hand out of the water and over the bank.
Be careful not to drop him to close to the edge because the fish will flop it’s self back into the water.

Fish can also be caught by carrying a roll of line and a package of fishhooks, with you. But if you have no hooks, improvise them from wire or nails, or crave them out of bone or hard wood. As another resort make yourself a spear using a stout stick and sharpening on end. Hopefully thou you will have a pole and reel, line and hooks, with you and only need to find some bait.

So now you caught a fish and you need to know the best way to clean and gut the fish, as well as, cook him. For this I am supplying you with to nice video links.

I think if not in survival mode, it would be best to follow the game rules and throw the little fish back in the water. The above video is of a man up in Canada, and some lake fish are smaller than norm. But he shows a quick easy way to clean a fish that is quite interesting. My dad used to just slice the belly open to remove the insides. I drather like the above video that shows a faster and cleaner way to get the job done.
