What time does it take you to catch a salmon?
It depends on the size of the fish and the skill level of the fisherman. It can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 1 hour to catch a fish. The more time you wait to catch a big fish the greater your chances of success.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Perfectly
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders hold the rod securely and keep it upright. These holders are easy-to-store and prevent rod damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
