Sumat fishy
I want to take up fishing...here is the score....I am a woman, 5ft 2 and never fished before. I have no idea what rod to use, I want to go fishing on the river. Any have any suggestions for a really good rod for beginners. Looking at buying a yo-yo reel, seems kinda simple and no sitting around waiting 
Also any ideas on baits? Is a worm from the garden o'k?
Sorry for being dim and girlie but I have to ask as I don't know

RE: Sumat fishy
Prep wise I went to THE GREAT OUTDOORS store and bought a couple of their telescopic self contained fishing kits and some hooks sand weights, Ideal for the BOBs but I cannot give you advice on technique save advise you briefly join a club or go and chat with the anglers along your river bank.

RE: Sumat fishy
I'm also a woman, 5'3" and I've fished for many years. I use both a Rod and Reel and a Pole. Mainly an 11ft Pellet Waggler or a 6ft Spinning Rod, and a couple reels. I also use a 8 ft Pole(mind out of the gutter please, NR et al).
There really is no simple way to fish legally, it's either of the above and skill or luck. As regards bait.... oh God don't even go there! Worm, sweetcorn, luncheon meat, bread, cheapo cooked sausages, cheese and loads more. Maggots, worms and bread are pretty much a universal bait.
The most basic kit I've fished with is a 7ft telescopic Whip (see above NR et al) a couple rigs and a box of bait.
Also, I think you might find using Yo-Yo reels on rivers an lakes in this country is illegal, as are nets and in some areas, fish traps.
Sailing away, not close to the wind.

RE: Sumat fishy
to fish legally on a river you will need to buy a fishing licence.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Now that's my kind of fishing! None of this waiting around hours for the chance of a nibble.
Or if you want to go more low profile, I'd use snares or traps. Even if it ultimately has a lower success rate it'll be a much more efficient use of time
