Do you know how to fish?

Yeah

I've never fished before either.

I do... I have fished for most of my life. I love fishing for large mouth bass.

I don't know how to fly fish. But fishing with a rod and reel is a pretty simple affair.

A tiny bit - I’m no expert.

Yes, I enjoy fishing.
It's very pretty and peaceful out in the woods.

When I was in 4th grade, my older brother and I used to catch yellow perch by the boxful down at the trestle using a bobber, a sinker, a single-pronged hook, and a worm.

In the early spring they were good to eat, but we were told they got wormy in the summer. The ones we caught close to shore were mostly in the 6 to 8" range and we would come home with like 20 or more (there was no limit on that particular species).
