angling is the art of catching fish with rod, line, and hook, with live or artificial bait, and can be pursued at many different levels and in different ways. The name derives from the Old English
angle, a hook. The success of Izaak Walton's
The Compleat Angler (1653) testifies to the popularity of the pastime in the 17th cent. Competitive events were organized by local clubs, often based upon pubs, and commanded a very large following, particularly as the expanding railway network improved access to rivers, lakes, and canals. A National Federation of Anglers was formed in 1903.
