Hook and line fishing is a simple and traditional method of catching fish. It involves using a fishing rod, reel, and a line with a hook attached. Anglers bait the hook with food to attract fish, then cast the line into the water. When a fish bites, the angler feels a tug and can reel it in. This technique is popular among recreational fishermen and can be done in various environments, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. Hook and line fishing is often considered a sustainable practice, as it allows for selective fishing and can help maintain fish populations.
