Fish is a nutrient rich food and protein source. You do need to cook it well, especially if you catch it from a questionable water source as it may have viruses, bacteria, worms, and parasites. Catching fish is a sustainable way to survive. Should you know at least one method to catch fish? Absolutely!
Here are some ways:
- Hook and line – Whether you have a nice rod and reel or not, a hook and line with bait is all you need.
- Fish trap – A large basket and a small funnel are used to trap fish that goes inside. Make sure to bait the trap.
- Fish net – A large net with weights on the edges to drop into water. Fish get caught in the net and you drag the net to see if you catch anything. Works well if there are ample fish in the water.
Best way to practice is get out there and fish. Try one or all these methods, and even a catch and release pond is a good place to fish with a hook and line. Learn how to catch fish today, and when you need to, you’ll have food when you really need it.
