Probably the best way to learn about fishing is to learn about the fish species you are targeting. Understand how each species behaves, their habitat, food, habits, basically everything you can. When you start thinking like the fish your trying to catch, the fish don't have a chance. Also join a fishing forums your area. Local people on forums are familiar with the specific species in your area, and you can pick up some great tips.

A rod that long is usually for saltwater surf fishing so you can cast it over the waves. None the less, one of the best things I did when I started fishing as a kid was to keep a fishing log book. Just use a simple notebook and record the air temp water temp, cloud cover, rain/wind etc, time of day, the day month year, the place you fished, the structure- rocks/submerged logs/lilly pads/drops offs/etc, the baits/lures you are using- their style and colors, and then what you caught, if anything. Even after a year you will start noticing trends and patterns to when the fish will bite what they like and what they dont like. As you would with any lake or stream dont think like the fish think like the bait. Match the colors to bait you see in the lake bc thats what they are feeding on. If you see a lot of worms or after a rain you go fishing use worms since they get washed into the lakes, if you see nymphs or larvae use them. If you see baitfish use a lure that matches their size or color. A 10`9“ rod for freshwater seems a little overkill, meaning its really heavy for the lures and bait you`ll be using.
