ANGLING. - Definition of the Term.- Although there may be considerable doubt as to the exact origin of the term, "Angling" may be defined as the art of fishing with rod, line, and hook. Even the derivation of the word is a matter of dispute, but whether it be from the Latin, Greek, or Dutch, we may safely assume that the hook is always indicated as indispensable for the catching of fish. One of the recently published dictionaries describes Angling as "fishing with an angle." About this there is a charming vagueness which leaves abundant room for the exercise of private judgment.
