Using Light Tackle to Land Fish
When using very light tackle in open water a long line and a large reel must be used, for, under the strain of a light rod a large fish may make a long run, or a deep sound before the drag grows tiresome and he decides to go back. But no matter what kind of tackle you should give line grudgingly and take in line on every available occasion. You have more chance when the fish is near you and you know that he is in clear water, and more line with which to check a run. If the fish is a big one you may lose line and recover it again many times before you tire your catch out, and you should never try to use a landing net or gaff hook until your fish is tired out and gives up the fight, even then you must be careful. In rapid streams you should always lead the fish into open, clear water, where the current is not strong.
