lake fishing

Casting from shore

Lake fishing is angling in freshwater lakes rather than rivers, streams, or the ocean.

The term distinguishes the activity by venue, as lakes present different conditions—calmer waters, specific fish species, and techniques suited to still or slow-moving water: We're going lake fishing this weekend at the cabin.
