Fishing Trips
from: Rob LoreFishing trips can be a relaxing way to spend your weekends. Fishing is one of the all time treasured experiences of thousands of American families. However, any sport has its dangerous side and fishing is no exemption.
Before you head off for those fishing trips, you might want to pull out your tackle and gear for a good inspection.You should also make sure that when you leave your home to go on your fishing trips, you are prepared for more than just catching fish.
Here's a checklist of things to take with you on your fishing trips besides your fishing gear and equipment:
1. A complete first aid kit and a smaller version for your vest or fanny pack. Take along the first aid handbook for reference in case of an emergency.
2. Check your tackle box or fly vest for the basics. Put in an extra spool of tippet because you have no idea how much tippet is left on the spools in your vest pocket. Do you have enough splitshot? Will you need the hook sharpener? Check for frays on your mono lines and tippets.
3. Pack some insect repellant. The mosquitoes probably will be worse than you think.
4. Polarized sunglasses. Double check before you hike a few miles. Polarized sunglasses cut the glare, and if you're hiking, help protect your eyes from branches.
5. Wear a cap to protect your head. Better yet, wear a hat so the brim protects your ears from sunburning.
6. Pack sunblock, sunscreen or suntan lotion, even if it's cloudy overhead. You can buy the waterproof kind but the best idea is to keep applying it throughout the day.
7. Take along a small camera. You can buy a throwaway waterproof camera to carry in your shirt pocket. You never know when you might catch the big one and without a snapshot, how can you prove it?
8. If you aren't an accomplished outdoors person and plan to hike deep into the outdoors to a distant lake or stream, make sure you take either a good map and compass and/or someone who is accomplished.
9. Pack a small survival kit. Include matches, handiwipes and a Swiss Army knife.
10. Pack some rain gear. A cheap rain parka folds up as small as a bandana and fits nicely in your vest or tackle box.
11. Carry water in your fanny pack or a top rate filter cup. Don't drink untreated water, even spring water, even if you are in the deep backcountry, even if the water is cold and crystal clear. You just never know what is in it that you can't see.
