Home > Take Me Fishing Blog > April 2020 > Join a Fishing Forum and Connect with Your Local Angling Community
Online forums have been around since the birth of the internet and are one of the earlier forms of digital engagement, before social media was a thing. These discussion sites allow people with similar interests to hold conversations in the form of posted comments. It’s not known when the first fishing forum was founded, but they’ve exploded ever since. Texas fishing forum, fly fishing forum, name-your-niche fishing forum, there is one for every style, segment, and angling interest!
If you are new to fishing, forums provide perfect opportunities to connect with other anglers in your local community or across the world and discuss tips, techniques, gear, and recommendations.
While these online hangouts are a great source for information and community, there’s no replacement for experience. Get out on the water and put your ideas to the test. Try new things, then try more. You’ll have much more fruitful conversation to bring back to the forum with a little trial and error.
Get your fishing license and hit the water! Enjoy!
