Basically, to begin fishing, you need a rod and reel spooled with line and a handful of terminal tackle — things like sinkers and hooks (covered completely in Chapter 9). Even someone who possesses one hook can probably find a garden worm somewhere and catch a fish.

Most likely, you’ll want some kind of tackle carrier to carry your terminal tackle, and other lures (artificial, synthetic baits) and flies. This could be as simple as a plastic tackle box or a fishing vest with pockets.

The right clothes will keep you comfortable and safe, as well. Anglers fishing from boats or near rapid current should always wear a life jacket. Waterproof footwear may not be a necessity, but it’s pretty close, at times. Sunglasses and a billed hat make life easier while fishing. Figure 1-3 shows two anglers who are pretty much ready for any piscatorial challenge. Chapter 2 tells you much more about how to dress for fishing success.
