Day 44: How to Catch Fish with No Rod…
Survival Fishing :
Food from water no gear required
No rod? No reel? No problem. In the wild, fish are a top food source only if you know how to catch them.
What It Does
Gives you protein when huntings scarce
Keeps you fed with minimal effort
Works while you do other survival tasks
Easy to set up, even with no modern gear
How to Do It
1. Find the Right Spot
Look for slow-moving water: creeks, river edges, calm water. Fish love spots with cover (rocks, logs).
2. Make Line & Hook
Line: Paracord, shoelaces, thread, or even tough plant fibers.
Hook: Carve from a thorn, safety pin, bone, or even soda tab -as long as it’s sharp and curved.
3. Bait It Right
Use worms, bugs, small frogs, or even scraps. Fish aren’t picky — movement and smell matter most.
4. Hand Line or Set Line
Hand Line: Tie your hook to your line, toss it in, and hold the other end. Feel for a tug.
Set Line: Tie it to a branch or rock, let it fish while you handle other tasks. Check back often.
5. Alternative: Fish Trap
Weave a funnel shaped trap from sticks or vines. Bait the inside. Fish swim in can’t swim out.
Tips
Fish at dawn and dusk - when they’re most active
Stay quiet and still near water
Always keep a few hooks in your kit— they’re light but priceless
Bottom Line
No pole, no problem. Nature feeds those who know where (and how) to look. Fish are calories that keep coming back.
