is there any money in having a fish hatchary?

yes, there's a lot of money in raising both food fish (like tilapia & sturgeon) & ornamental fish. Your best source of info on this would be your county's extension offices. I'm attaching a link to UF's publications on aquaclture that I've found to be very useful.\n\nGood Luck!

Yes.  In Helen GA there is a stocked fish/pay pond at the flea market 2-4 miles outside of town.

We have a thrift shop in our neighborhood that loves to get hangers. Alot of stuff is hanging in the store, the money goes to "The Ark" maybe you have something like this near you.

Contact the Sportfishing landings, in So.Cal.\nThey use the same rods, as loaners, for tourists. They might have a plan to help you, or a suggestion on where to turn.

I saw a giant "claw" tank at Captains Cove in Bridgeport, CT.  You put in $2 and move the claw in a giant tank of live lobsters.  If you get one, you have to call the manager so they can prepare it for you!

Yes, I have never used it but here is a site that I found with an inexpensive portable fish finder.  Most of the ones you'll see are 2-3 hundred dollars. This one is only 57 and some change.  Please let me know if you get this, and how it works.  Thanks and good luck!

You're allowed to catch fish & take them home when game fishing for Trout & Salmon..... personally I recommend going to artificially stocked Trout reservoirs such as "Scaling Dam" (Cleveland / North Yorkshire Border, along A171), "Kielder Water" (Northumberland), Rutland Water (East Anglia) and similar such spots..... since the fish there are stocked regularly (so you have a better chance of catching) + the fish were bred for that purpose..... and prefer to use "Catch & Release" with wild game fish from rivers & streams, since stocks aren't as good as they should be these days.\nWhen you do catch one, put the fish out of it's misery humanely using a device called a "priest" (which costs about £4.99)... also ensure it's legal size...... it should be on the Environment Agency website in a PDF file on rules for your particular region..... for instance, in the North-East region it's about 9" / 23cm.\n\nIt's an unwritten rule in British Coarse fishing that you release all fish caught, since a poke around messageboards such as http://www.maggotdrowning.com give the impression that us British Anglers are close to forming lynch mobs over immigrants from places like Poland who don't understand this rule about not killing fish (technically stealing, in the case of privately owned waters).\n\nWith sea fishing...... it's free to fish from the shore, but you aren't always guaranteed to catch anything...... I should know, I've been trying since about 1987, and all I've ever caught are crabs.\nSo, for Sea fishing your better off going on a trip on a Charter boat from somewhere like my home town of Whitby.... as the skipper in charge of the boat will know all the best spots, etc.\n\nAs you're new to fishing, I recommend you invest in a few books, such as:\nJOHN BAILEY'S COMPLETE GUIDE TO FRESHWATER FISHING\nhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wormdanglecou-21/detail/1843305674/026-2554217-5599602\n\nJOHN BAILEY'S COMPLETE GUIDE TO FLY FISHING\nhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wormdanglecou-21/detail/1843305666/026-2554217-5599602\n\nThe NEW Encylopedia of Fishing (ISBN 0-7513-3973-3)\nhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wormdanglecou-21/detail/0751339733/026-2554217-5599602

Check e-Bay, they do have many fishing items. I sold a fly rod on there myself before.

Obviously it's best to try and "match the hatch" but if you don't know whats hatching the try a wet  MONTANA nymph. If you can see fish rising to dry flies then I like to try a SEDGE. If you use a very dark one then you can see it floating on the water even at quite long range and this helps. If I had only one fly in my box then it would have to be a bloody butcher. A great allrounder. Good luck and thanks for your question!!

Call your local county extension or try some local feed and seed farm supplies.  There are farm pond supply companies that sell through farm supply stores.

Look on ebay to get an idea.

You should be able to find plenty of accessable areas to fish plastic worms from the bank.  Look for coves, inlets with grassy bottom.  Also fish visible and submerged points, and don't forget the occasional dock or two.  Also, if you can't afford a boat and want to access more areas, try a float tube.  They are easy to use and pretty cheap.  Good luck.
