Welcome to My Hunting Fishing, an independent guide to recreational fishing skills and techniques, outdoor field gear, navigation, wildlife observation, outdoor safety and gear care (no firearms, ammunition, weapons or hunting instruction). We help recreational anglers and outdoor enthusiasts in the United States who fish, hike to the water, watch wildlife and want to prepare well and choose dependable field gear make sense of their options without spending hours comparing listings.
1. Who We Are
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.
My Hunting Fishing is run by a small editorial team (My Hunting Fishing Editors). We research and write every guide on this site, and we review it before it is published.

3. How We Research
Our recommendations are based on research, not hands-on lab testing. We work from manufacturer specifications and manuals, state fish and wildlife agencies, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Take Me Fishing (Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation), National Park Service and Leave No Trace guidance, National Weather Service, and U.S. Coast Guard boating safety guidance. Where a claim matters for safety, health or a buying decision, we name or link to the source. Our Editorial Policy explains the process in detail.
Our product roundups list products that match the criteria explained in each guide. Product names, features and images in those roundups come from the retailer’s product listings at the time of writing. We do not quote prices, and we do not publish our own star ratings or invented test results.

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.
