You see somebody fishing by the river, you ask:
a) "Have you been catching any fish?"
b) "Have you caught any fish?"
As I understand, option b) definitely isn't wrong, you simply ask about the result of the activity. What I want to know is whether option a) is applicable depending on the context. For example, I'm wondering about fishing conditions today and want to know If the person I'm talking to have had any luck yet. Would that question make sense then?
