    A.) Run on because there is no and

    A)Run on sentence.

    A run on sentence is one which has two independent clauses which effectively run-on. That is, the two main clauses are joined together without any punctuation or conjunction.

    Fly-fishing takes some careful practice=independent clause
    Anyone can do it=independent clause

    Here is how to fix it:

    Fly-fishing takes some careful practice; anyone can do it.

    Or

    Fly-fishing takes some careful practice, and anyone can do it.

    Or

    Fly-fishing takes some careful practice. Anyone can do it.

    A comma splice is when two main clauses are joined by a comma and no coordinating conjunction. For example,

    I walked home, it was cold.

    If you need further help, you can type ‘run-on sentences’ into a search engine, or you can email me.
