Summary
Fishing at a paid pond is permissible because the angler is using a service provided by the pond operator. It may become forbidden if a competition is held with prizes funded from fees collected from the anglers, since this is regarded as containing an element of gambling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
