| | Fishing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fish are caught with a fishing line by encouraging a fish to bite upon a fish hook or a gorge. | | | Spear fishing is an ancient method of fishing and may be conducted with an ordinary spear or a specialised variant such as an eel spear (Image) or the trident. | | | For example, the expression "fishing expedition" (usually used to describe a line of questioning), describes a case where the questioner implies that he knows more than he actually does in order to trick the target into divulging more information than he wishes to reveal. |

| | Fishing - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |

| | Fly fishing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method, developed primarily for salmonids (trout and salmon, mostly) and now extended to other species such as pike, bass, and carp, as well as a wide range of marine species. | | | Fly fishing for trout usually takes place in small streams and ponds, as well as rivers or lakes; although the basics are the same, methods and flies vary. | | | British fly-fishing was further developed in the 19th Century, with the development of dry-fly techniques for use on the slower, clearer rivers of the south such as the River Test and the other 'chalk streams' concentrated in Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset and Berkshire (see Southern England Chalk Formation for the geological specifics). |

| | Commercial Fishing for Salmon in British Columbia. |
| | If the commercial salmon fishing fleet is allowed to keep fishing for salmon at the same quota levels they are now experiencing, these markets for frozen salmon should rebound as well. | | | Prices for commercial caught salmon continue to remain low and markets have been soft with most of the fish going to the local fresh salmon markets. | | | The easiest thing to do, is when eating in any restraurant, or purchasing fish in a fish market, inquire about where they obtain the salmon they sell. |

| | Remarkably, farmed fishing is even worse because farmed fish are fed 5 pounds of commercially caught fish (species not fed to humans) for every 1 pound of fish flesh produced. | | | Commercial fishing boats leave their ports in pursuit of specific species of fish, but their hooks and nets bring up thousands of pounds of other marine animals as well. | | | The way that these animals are treated by the commercial fishing industry should make animal lovers everywhere give up their taste for fish flesh for good. |
