Survival Fishing
A few methods for survival fishing
There are any number of ways to fish but when you are in a survival situation you wont have the luxury of sitting on the river bank all daywith a pole in your hands. These are a few suggestions that might help in the coming times.
Traps:
There are several trap designs that work. I am sure you will be able to construct one that will workfor you.
Take some "chicken wire" and form a tube about 16 inches in diameter. You can make it square, if you want, but a tube is easier. Using wire or such, you will need to sew the seam of the tube.Also sew one end shut in such a way that you can open fairly easy. Then cut a "mouth" out of a square of the chicken wire. You will need to form a cone that fits into the other end of the "tube". Thesmaller end points into the tube. The smaller end should be small enough to allow fish to swim through but not big enough to let them swim back out. This kind of trap needs to have bait put inside toattract the fish. If you can find a small creek that fish usually swim up, place the trap with the mouth facing downstream and block access of the rest of the creek so that all fish will have to swiminto the trap.

You can make the trap out of anything. The Indians used to make them out of sticks. The fish can be left in the trap if there are too many for you to eat at one time. This wayyou could have fresh fish anytime that you needed them. You can leave them in the trap for a week or so. Much longer than that and the fish would starve.
Bait:
Using bait makes finding fish easier.If you are near a stream, river, or lake, you can keep a "supply" of fish nearby by baiting them. You can place a trap at the bait or fish with hook and line. In running water place the bait in acertain place by weighting it down so it wont drift off. The fish will gather on the downstream side of the bait to get the particles as they float by.
