It's generally easier to catch a few small fish than one or two larger ones. As a rule, fish bite bait from their native water, so look in the water near shore for minnows, insects and worms. When you catch a fish, inspect its stomach to see what it's been eating and then try to match this food. Use intestines, eyes and other scrape parts of the fish for bait. If you need to improvise a fishline, you can use twisted bark (inner), cloth fibers and tendons from animals. In my opinion for a person in a survival crisis, the best source of edible wild food is probably fish. Ponds, lakes and streams support more animal life in a smaller area than land does, and it's often easier to acquire.
At this picture link of mine you'll see where to look for fish, how to tie a hook and how to bait a hook. Other methods could be used to catch fish at these locations. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/98ac25d364bd119c29167a5dc8709b54/ Click on pictures to enlarge.
