{{Other uses}}
An '''angler''' is a person who engages in the practice of [[fishing]] using a [[fishing rod]] and [[fishing line]]. Anglers typically fish for [[recreational fishing|recreational]] purposes, although some may also fish for [[commercial fishing|commercial]] or [[subsistence fishing|subsistence]] reasons. The term "angler" is often used to distinguish those who fish with a rod and line from those who use other methods, such as [[net fishing]] or [[spear fishing]].
==History==
The practice of angling dates back thousands of years, with evidence of fishing with hooks and lines found in ancient civilizations such as [[Ancient Egypt]] and [[Ancient Greece]]. The development of angling as a recreational activity began in the 17th century, particularly in [[England]], where it became a popular pastime among the upper classes.
==Techniques==
Anglers use a variety of techniques to catch fish, including:
* [[Fly fishing]]: Using artificial flies to mimic the appearance of insects.
* [[Bait fishing]]: Using live or dead bait to attract fish.
* [[Lure fishing]]: Using artificial lures designed to resemble prey.
==Equipment==
The basic equipment used by anglers includes:
* [[Fishing rod]]: A long, flexible rod used to cast the line and reel in fish.
* [[Fishing reel]]: A device attached to the rod that holds and releases the fishing line.
* [[Fishing line]]: A thin, strong line used to catch fish.
* [[Fishing hook]]: A sharp hook used to catch fish by impaling them in the mouth.
==Types of Angling==
There are several types of angling, each with its own specific techniques and equipment:
* [[Freshwater fishing]]: Fishing in rivers, lakes, and streams.
* [[Saltwater fishing]]: Fishing in oceans and seas.
* [[Ice fishing]]: Fishing through holes drilled in ice-covered bodies of water.
==Conservation==
Many anglers are involved in [[conservation]] efforts to protect fish populations and their habitats. This includes practices such as [[catch and release]], where fish are caught and then released back into the water, and participating in habitat restoration projects.
