Since you are just getting into freshwater fishing, did you have a species in mind you want to target (trout, bass, carp, panfish) or is it simply anything that bites on a given day?

What type of fishing, artificial lure, bait fishing, fly fishing?
I was thinking walking up and down stream, staying mobile... trout is definitely the one I wanna start out going after, and I really don't know what type of fishing would be best for trout.

I've been a big saltwater guy, going out on my friend's boat and the occasional party boat, as well as surf fishing which I just got semi-serious about this past summer, but I know diddly when it comes to freshwater fishing, outside of a couple trips I took up to a family friend's house at Lake George.
