So here's a checklist for Fishing in Fresh Water:

• A fishing license (depending on your age)

• A fishing rod and reel.

• 4- to 12-pound-test monofilament fishing line.

• A package of fishing weights.

• Fish hooks (Number 6–10 size)

• A plastic or cork bobber.

• A selection of live bait or fishing lures.
