prompter: Where can I learn about fishing? I want to learn how, but I've never done it and I don't know anyone else who does either.

assistant: Fishing is a popular activity that can be learned by anyone. Local fishing organizations or even your state’s forestry department are excellent resources for learning the basics of fishing. Additionally, there are many books available that can help beginners learn the basics of fishing, such as Never Again Without Fish, A Beginner's Guide , Basic Fishing: A Beginner’s Guide , Fishing for Dummies , and The Total Fishing Manual: 317 Essential Fishing Skills. It is also important to have the right gear and skills for fishing, such as rods, reels, lures, and knots. To catch your first fish, it is important to understand the behavior of the fish and the environment they live in. Finally, it is helpful to get out on the water with more experienced anglers and to buy a fishing license.

Online forums and communities
Books and magazines

assistant: I apologize for the inconvenience, I don't see any relevant new question. Your answer repeats some of the information from my last reply and you have no additional questions for me to answer.

assistant: Those seem like good considerations for someone who is thinking of taking up fishing.

assistant: What a nice idea. Let me provide you some starting points/ideas in the following how you could start leaning fishing:

* Online resources such as articles, videos, and tutorials.
* Books and magazines specialized in fishing.
* Taking a class or course on the subject.
* Joining a fishing club or group where you can connect with experienced fishermen and learn from them.

I recommend you to combine it with something social, especially if you are still learning. This way you can benefit from the experience of others and maybe make some nice friends.

prompter: Thank you for your answer but I'd like a more into depth response. Your answer is Could you send me specific resources? Name me some books, magazines or online resources that are available to the public so I can learn more about fishing.

assistant: there are many places to learn how to fish, especially dependent on your preferred learning style. some online places of learning include; google (for relevant articles), youtube (for recordings of people actively fishing or for tuturials) discord groups (to find more experienced mentors/ other people who wish to learn) among other social medias for the same purpose. if you wish to learn in a non online method, there are also options available to you. those include; libraries( to find educational books on the subject) or fishing stores (as these stores are centric around the learning subject they serve the same function as social medias allowing you to find people to learn with or for mentors as well as the staff members being likely capable and being able to answer questions for you), you can also go to places well known in your area for fishing for similar reasons

prompter: How can I find a good Discord group for fishing?

assistant: disboard has collected all of the discord servers tagged with fishing: https://disboard.org/servers/tag/fishing. This could be an incredibly helpful resource for learning about fishing, with a community that can help you out with any questions.

assistant: Here are some steps you can follow to find a good Discord group for fishing:

Use search engines: Searching for "fishing Discord groups" or "fishing communities on Discord" can help you find some options.

Browse Discord servers: You can browse the Discord servers listed on websites such as Discord.me or Disboard.org to find fishing-related servers.

Check social media platforms: Fishing communities on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit can often have links to Discord groups.

Ask for recommendations: If you are already a member of a fishing community or forum, you can ask for recommendations for a good Discord group for fishing.

Evaluate the group: Once you've found some potential Discord groups, take a look at their members, activity level, and rules to ensure it is a good fit for you.

When evaluating the group, consider the following:

Member count: A group with a large number of members can be a good sign of an active and engaging community.

Activity level: Check the number and frequency of messages to get a sense of how active the group is.

Rules and moderation: Make sure the group has clear rules and a system for enforcing them to maintain a positive and supportive environment.

By following these steps and evaluating the group, you should be able to find a good Discord group for fishing.

assistant: You can use the search feature of Discord to find groups you would like to join.

It is for me hard to valuate groups in context how good they are so that is something you need to do yourself.
