I dont think its wrong at all, I myself am a fly-fisherman. Very much for catch and release, with the odd exception of keeping a fish for dinner(no females or breeders). Trout are oft my prey largest being 8 pound 4 ounce. Have also caught spanish mackeral on fly, tuna, queenfish plus a myriad of other reefies.

get yourself a decent float/feeder rod and a baitrunner reel. 8lb mainline and some hooks to nylon. disgorger is a must. look in the argos bok for the £20 equipment starter pack pretty good i think. then just a float/feeder rod for bout £20 and a reel for the same. then join a local angling club or go with a family member

Go to your local tackle shop and ask for some help/advice on what kind of fishing you want to do and places to fish in your area.

the type of fishing depends on your country. uk has more coarse angling than the usa who like big bass fishing better

I go fishing with my dad. He likes to catch bass. I just ctch the little sunfish We mainly let them go, but I put a few in out tank and pond. They're pretty. Also, we got 2 turtles, 1 5" Painted turtle, and one 1" snapper with nets, scooping in the plants and stuff, and a few catfish, which I think are Channel Catfish. It was so cool, there was a school of about 200 of them going by, and they were only like an inch long! Now they're 6 inch beasts!

I myself have never tried fly fishing, looks fun...did sea fishin with my parents when i lived in Norway...but i normally do float fishing...i do sometimes feel sorry for the fish, but they do say the fish can't feel it. The worst fish for getting stuck on the hook are them blummin perch...talk about ruining a day of fishing, i was sat there for 30 mins once (placing it in the water in intervals) and in the end it died but that was a tiddler. But yes i say fishing is a relaxing sport, and rewarding when you catch a biggy ...which i almost did till it jumped off me hook... 5cm away...ugh still gutted now twas a big breme ... but yes tis very rewarding and relaxing
