freshwater fishing

Rivers and lakes

Freshwater fishing is angling in rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams rather than in the ocean.

The term distinguishes the pursuit of bass, trout, catfish, and other inland species from saltwater or deep-sea fishing.

We packed the truck for a weekend of freshwater fishing at the lake.
