I can't even
identify the fish that I am seeing so pictures of the fish (or, at
least, links to relevent websites) would be awesome. If I don't know
what I'm fishing for, I'm not going to know what to use. Also, it
would be nice to have some info on how to fish beyond just using a rod
and reel (e.g. jug lines, etc.). Finally, tips and tricks would be
good.

I like the idea. I'll keep watching.

What country / state are you living and fishing in? In the US some
lists of fishing regs have pages in them that show pictures of the
fish that are legal to catch. Others are shown on the Department of
Natural Resources pages under 'fishing'.

I'm in New Mexico, USA. I think I've seen the kind of pamphlet you're
talking about but that was several years ago and I'm not sure where it
was.

Where did you buy your fishing license? That's usually a place that
has information about regulations and the fish in the area covered by
the license.

I bought it at a retail store. They only have the license and a list
of regs. No info that's worthwhile.

Some of these places have print materials that you can pick up free or
at low cost and some have tips on how to fish for various fish.

Do you want to catch fish and then let them go, just for the fun of
fishing (if that's allowed by the regs where you are)? Some places
have a rule that you have to take the fish away once caught and use
it.) or do you want to catch fish to eat?

Mostly to eat. I may do a little bit of catch and release but not
much.

Do you know anyone at all who fishes? Have you gone to fishing spots
and watched fishermen and asked them questions?

I know one guy. He might be able to give me an idea of what to fish
for and what to use.

Thanks!
