My Hunting Fishing is an independent guide to recreational fishing and time in the field. We explain fishing skills and techniques, how rods, reels and terminal tackle fit together, how to navigate and stay safe outdoors, and how to choose and care for field gear such as backpacks, headlamps, binoculars and rain gear.
Our guides cover fishing basics, fishing gear and techniques, outdoor field gear, wildlife observation, outdoor safety, camping accessories and buying guides. We do not cover firearms, ammunition or weapons, and we do not give hunting instruction. Information comes from manufacturer specifications, state fish and wildlife agencies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service and the National Weather Service. Always check your state's licensing and regulations before you fish.

Important
Check your state's fishing license requirements and regulations before you go. Tell someone your plan and return time, check the forecast, and carry navigation, water, a light and a first aid kit. Wear a life jacket on boats and kayaks and near fast or cold water. Keep a respectful distance from wildlife, never feed animals, and follow the rules of the land you are on.
