Catch & Cook Adventures

Primitive Fishing Techniques

Master traditional fishing techniques using hand-lines, branch fishing, and simple tackle. Then learn to start a fire with a magnesium striker and cook your catch on a portable wood stove. This friendly outdoor adventure teaches practical skills in a fun, hands-on environment - no fancy equipment required.

Hand-Lining

Hand-lining is one of the oldest fishing methods, using just line, hook, and bait without a rod. You feel bites directly through the line wrapped around your hand or a simple frame, then pull in your catch manually. This technique requires minimal equipment and teaches you to read fish behavior through touch alone.

Spearfishing & Gigging

Spearfishing uses a sharpened stick or multi-pronged spear to catch fish in shallow water. This active hunting method requires patience, stealth, and understanding of fish movement patterns. Whether wading during the day or using lights at night, spearfishing connects you directly to the predator-prey relationship.

Fish traps are passive fishing structures built from natural materials like sticks, stones, and woven branches. By creating barriers and funnel-shaped enclosures, you guide fish into spaces they can't easily escape. This set-and-forget method has fed communities for thousands of years and demonstrates ingenious problem-solving with available resources.
