fishing terms from "An Angler's Dictionary" by H. Beard and R. McKie Advice- Two or more pieces of contradictory angling information contained in a single phrase or sentence.
Angling- The art of fishing, as practiced by those who seek to catch fish not for profit or for food, but rather for the sport involved. The commonly accepted source of the term "angling" is an ancient Indo-European word, anka, meaning "hook" or "to fish with a hook," but several other words are also likely candidates, including enka ("unwise expenditure" or useless task"); unglo ("one who is tormented by insects"); onku ("loud or frequent lamentation"); angi ("to decieve"); inkla ("to repeat a foolish act"); onklo ("possesion by demons"); and angla ("love of pointless suffering").
Canoe- Long, narrow, sharp-ended boat in which the typical lake fisherman passes through the most dramatic portion of the metamorphosis that began with his emergence from his cocoonlike sleeping bag at dawn. At first huddling in the unfamiliar craft as he adjusts to his new enviroment, he rises unsteadily to his feet, extends his fishing rod, and then goes into a brief flying phase, followed by a long aquatic or swimming stage.
Fishing- the art of casting, trolling, jigging, or spinning while freezing, sweating, swatting, or swearing.
Panfish- Anything removed from the water that will fit into a frying pan and does not melt, smolder, or give off sparks when cooked.
