start before/around sunrise or before/around sunset, best times

And yeah some lakes stock fish, easy to find out!

Best caught fish are from a mountain river, they taste the best. I prefer flies when fishing in river.

I guess i dont see it as being brutal. Its not like you gut em alive, you can either club them(lol) or cut their head off(not bad) first. I thought fish had alot less nerve endings??
