hiya am looking at starting river fishing and need as much help and advice as I can am in north east uk?
my 5 year old son has asked me to take him fishing now I have never done it ever lol, I know decent rods are about 20-30 uk pounds, though I was thinking of going river fishing as think it safest way as dont want my 5 y/o falling into the sea etc etc any advice would be great
start practicing casting with him, like in your front yard with just a sinker on it, no hook.research fish in your area, so you can identify what you have caught.just have fun, take a little cooler with drinks food etc… bring plenty of bait, bobbers(red and white colored ball) for the little one so he can see where his line is at.bring a net and a stringer for the fish you have caught. don’t forget about pliers, or hook remover, and a pocket knife.
hope I helped and have fun!

Well im not from the uk or anything but when i river fish
i throw the line upstream
usally cast in slow flowing water (even if you cant see fish they are there!)
near a log thats in a river (dont cast to close)
white/silvery water (if it looks like sorta like that or clear)
dont stand like right by the water fish can see you
i would use night crawlers
never been sea fishing so good luck with that
have fun fishing!
