Angling is a method of fishing that involves using a hook attached to a fishing line to catch fish. Anglers typically use various types of bait, such as worms or artificial lures, to attract fish. This recreational activity can take place in freshwater or saltwater environments, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. The practice of angling can be done from the shore, a boat, or even while wading in the water. Many anglers enjoy the challenge of catching different species of fish, such as trout, bass, or salmon. Angling is not only a popular pastime but also promotes conservation and respect for aquatic ecosystems.
