Gear for a newbie

Postby sodbuster on Wed Mar 25, 2009 4:48 pm

I'm planning on trying my luck at trout fishing this season in northern Arizona's Mogollon Rim lakes, but dont have a clue on what gear to buy.
Can someone give me some tips on the correct gear to get started with without spending a bundle.
Maybe some tips on bait and what to expect as a newbie too :oops:
Thanks

As far as equipment if you're mentioning bait, I'm guessing you spin fish. Either spin or fly fishing tackle if you're going to buy something first figure out what you want to catch and where you are planning to fish. Once you know what you're targeting you can ask a local shop. You can also hire yourself a guide and not buy anything. Most every guide has gear and you can learn allot more from a good guide than buying a bunch of gear without having a ton of experience. You didn't give me much information so I'm really guessing. If you just want to buy a cheap rod and bait fish a lake grab a 6 weight , 9 foot rod some corn, worms and a couple of wooly buggers. Works for most things
