Choosing the Right Fishing Scene

If you are planning a weekend trip or just love the outdoors, these sheets offer something for every skill level. Young children usually prefer the simple dock fishing scenes where kids are holding a basic fishing pole and waiting for a bite.

Older kids and adult colorists might enjoy the challenge of our realistic sportfishing pages. These feature dynamic action, such as a largemouth bass leaping out of the water to strike a bait.

Coloring Water and Nature

Bringing a fishing trip to life on paper means working with lots of blues, greens, and earth tones. When coloring a calm lake, try blending light blue with hints of silver or white to show the reflection of the sky.

For a fast-moving mountain stream, use darker blues and bold white strokes to create the look of rushing water and foam around the rocks.

  • Use bright, metallic colors for a fishing lure to make it stand out against the water.
  • Layer greens and browns for the trees and shoreline to give the background depth.
  • Add a touch of yellow or orange to the sky for a warm sunrise or sunset effect over the water.

Learning About Fishing Gear

Coloring is an engaging way to introduce kids to the equipment used in this popular outdoor sport. As you color the tackle and gear pages, you can talk about the different parts of a fishing rod, like the spinning reel, the line, and the guides.

You can also point out how a fly fishing setup looks entirely different from a standard casting rod. The delicate artificial flies used to catch river trout require bright threads and feathers, giving you a chance to use your most vibrant crayons.
