First-time anglers should pick a small body of water in which to fish, so they can quickly learn the makeup of the habitat. Once you've decided on the type of fish you're after, find out their habits and where they are located. Habits like where, when and how they migrate, where they live — high or low in the water ­ what they like to eat, and when they are most active. Knowing the fish will improve your rate of succcess.
