But things are changing. It probably has a name now. (I just don't know what it is.)

Fishing -is a gerund, so it is a noun phrase (or clause as some preferred).
I've provided the context to make it a complete sentence. "You can swim and do windsurfing on this lake, but no fishing."

Hi,

It is not a clause, it is a noun phrase no fishing preceded by the conjunction but . It should be put into some context so that the conjunction but could join the part of the sentence (clause) preceding it with the noun phrase no fishing.

No fishing is a noun phrase where the word no is a determiner and fishing is the verbal
