Angling is the main type of sport fishing using a fishing rod usually fitted with a reel for storing,

dispensing and retrieving the line which has a hook that carries the lure or bait.

Many countries have rules governing methods used to fish and the size and types of fish that

may be taken so that fish stocks may be preserved.

Spawning season is generally regarded as a time that angling is banned and at all times many areas requires that a current permit to fish is

carried.

Competitions normally are judged by the weight of the fish caught within a set period of time

and results may be further determined by the species caught.
