i want to learn of effective fishing methods aside from the conventional fishing pole.
Answer
Thermonuclear Fishing R errr, Used To be ...Us do some hot gear.
Electrofishing zaps 'em with volts but ain't legal most places.
Carbide in the water blows 'em up and stuns 'em. Net them off the top. Also not legal.
Used quite often for illegal salmon poaching. Chuck in a lump of carbide it makes acetylene gas like crazy and goes...BOOOOOOOM.
Salmon taking a late supper of freshly fallen lacewing and midge flies (traditional dish and rather nice actually with single malt whisky distillery effluent as befits a salmon of a particular social background) have been known to complain to the fisheries department but the guys there can't read salmon anyway so that comes to nothing.
Large bright lamps hung over the water with a net slung underneath which is raised when a sufficient quantity of fish is seen swimming beneath the light to justify missing a minute of the latest late night soap opera on the portable TV has been a successful method in many countries. In Malaysia there are Kelongs which are homes for a couple of families built on stilts in the water and having a large central or offset square for the net and an enormous light.

Cormorants can be very useful if they are well trained and keep bringing the fish back instead of trading them for smoked haddock or peanut butter but they come of age and sometimes disappear in hopes of seeing a girl friend and having fun. C'est la vie.
Bowfishing is popular amongst educated brown bears and mountain men but requires an assessment of the angle of deviation of a light ray as a result of refraction as it crosses the boundary of water and air.
Snells' Law is of particular relevance.

Long-line fishing, especially for eels,is common on the loughs of Ireland and in many other parts of the world for normally-shaped fish with curvy bits.
See my answer here for the paradisical exhilliration of a morning on a misty lough in green and beautiful Ireland with a long line a'waiting for the slow journey back to the shore with nothing but the sounds of the lough awaking in the morning and a promise of a lie in with the sweetest piece of Ireland that the dear country ever produced as long as there are enough eels to trade for a new lawn mower and a packet of biscuits.

What are the origins of the lawn? Who invented it?
CVPI
Answer
They are actually considered "gardens"
Before the invention of mowing machines in 1830, lawns were managed very differently. Lawns belonging to wealthy people were sometimes maintained by the labour-intensive methods of scything and shearingâin most cases, however, they were pasture land which was maintained through grazing by sheep or other livestock. Areas of grass grazed regularly by rabbits, horses or sheep over a long period often form a very low, tight sward similar to a modern lawn. This was the original meaning of the word "lawn", and the term can still be found in place-names. Some forest areas where extensive grazing is practiced still have these semi-natural lawns. For example, in the New Forest, England, such grazed areas are common and are known as lawns, for example Balmer Lawn.
Lawns became popular in Europe from the Middle Ages onward. The early lawns were not always distinguishable from pasture fields. It is thought that the associations with pasture and the biblical connotations of this word made them attractive culturally. By contrast, they are little-known or used in this form in other traditions of gardening. In addition, the damp climate of maritime Western Europe made them easier to grow and manage than in other regions.
It was not until the Tudor and Elizabethan times that the garden and the lawn became a place to be loved and admired. Created as walkways and for play areas, the lawns were not as we envisage them today. They were made up of meadow plants, such as camomile, a particular favourite. In the early 1600s the Jacobean epoch of gardening began. It was during this period that the closely-cut "English" lawn was born. By the end of this period, the English lawn was the envy of even the French; it was also seen as a symbol of status by the gentry. In the early 1700s, gardening fashion went through a further change. William Kent and the age of Capability Brown were in progress, and the open "English" style of parkland was seen across Britain and Ireland. Lawns seemed to flow from the garden into the outer landscape.
During Victorian times, as more plants were introduced into Britain and the influence of France and Italy became prevalent, lawns became smaller as borders were created and filled with plants, statues, sculptures, terraces and water features, which started encroaching onto the area covered by the lawn. In the United States, it was not until after the Civil War that lawns began to appear outside middle-class residences. Most people did not have the hired labor needed to cut a field of grass with scythes; average home owners either raised vegetables in their yards or left them alone. If weeds sprouted that was fine. Toward the end of the 19th century, suburbs appeared on the American scene, along with the sprinkler, greatly improved lawn mowers, new ideas about landscaping and a shorter workweek.
Lawns do not have to be, and have not always been, made up of grass alone. Other plants for fine lawns in the right conditions are camomile and thyme. Some lawns, if grown in difficult conditions for grasses, become dominated by whatever weeds can survive there; these include clovers in dry conditions, and moss in damp shady conditions. In more recent times, especially in suburban residential areas, a lawn may refer to an area surrounding a home where some or all of the natural grass or sod has been removed and replaced with artificial turf, stones, mulch, or some other material determined by the homeowner to reduce maintenance and/or water consumption.
