Fishing recreation , also called sport fishing , fishing for fun or competition. This can be contrasted with commercial fishing, profit-making, or fishing subsistence, which provokes survival.
The most common form of recreational fishing is done with rods, reels, lines, hooks and one of a variety of baits. Other devices, commonly referred to as tackle terminals , are also used to influence or complement a feed presentation to the targeted fish. Some examples of terminal handling include weights, buoys, and turns. Bait is often used instead of feed. Some hobbyists make homemade crafts, including plastic baits and artificial flies. The practice of catching or trying to catch fish with a hook is known as fishing.
Massive fishing is done from boats to capture large open water species such as tuna, sharks and marlin. Noodling and trout tickle also recreational activities.

History
The initial evolution of fishing as recreation is not clear. For example, there is anecdotal evidence for fishing in Japan in the early ninth century BC, and in Europe Claudius Aelianus (175-235 CE) describes fishing in his work on the Animal World.
But for the early Japanese and Macedonians, fishing is a way of survival, not recreation. It is possible that recreational fishing antecedents arrived in England with the conquest of Norman 1066. Although the point in history where fishing first can be said recreation is unclear, it is clear that recreational fishing has entirely arrived with The Compleat Angler's publication.
The earliest English essay on recreational fishing was published in 1496, shortly after the invention of the printing press. The writing is attributed to Dame Juliana Berners, the prioress of the Soped Benedictine nuns. The essay was titled Treaty of Fysshynge with an Angle , and published in both Boke of Saint Albans, a treatise on hawking, hunting, and emblem. This is the vested interests of the nobility, and the publisher, Wynkyn de Worde, is concerned that the book should be guarded from those who are not men, because their helplessness in fishing may "really destroy it".
During the 16th century the work was widely read, and reprinted many times. Treatyse includes detailed information on fishing waters, rod and line construction, and use of natural baits and artificial flies. It also includes modern concerns about conservation and fisherman etiquette.
The early English poetry treatise on Angling by John Dennys, said to have been Shakespeare's fishing buddy, was published in 1613, The Secrets of Angling . The footnotes of the work, written by the Dennys editor, William Lawson, make the first mention of the phrase to 'flies': "The trout provides the most polite and most prepared sport of all, if you are fishing with an artificial fly, the line twice the length of the rod You are of three hair thicknesses... and if you have studied the flies. "
Development
Recreational fishing took a big leap forward after the British Civil War, where renewed interest in the activity left a mark on many books and treatises written on the subject at the time. The famous officer in the Parliamentary army, Robert Venables, published in 1662 The Experienced Angler, or Angling improved, became a common fishing discourse, instilled many of the most appropriate ways and experiments were chosen to take most types of fish in ponds or rivers . Another enthusiastic Civil War veteran for fishing, is Richard Franck. He is the first to describe salmon in Scotland, and both in that and fishing for trout with his manmade flies is a practical fisherman. He was the first angler to name the burbot, and praised the salmon on the Thames.
Complete Angler was written by Izaak Walton in 1653 (though Walton continued to add it for a quarter of a century) and described the fishing in Derbyshire Wye. It is a celebration of art and the spirit of fishing in the form of prose and poetry; 6 verses quoted from John Dennys earlier. The second part of the book was added by Walton's friend, Charles Cotton. More than 300 editions of The Compleat Angler have been published. The pastoral discourse is enriched with folklore of fishermen, songs and poetry, recipes and anecdotes, moral meditation, and quotes from classical literature. The central figure, Piscator, the art champion of fishing, but with the air of tranquility also enjoys the pleasures of friendship, verses and songs, as well as good food and drinks.
The addition of cotton completed the instruction in fly fishing and was suggested in the manufacture of an artificial fly in which he enrolled sixty-five varieties. Charles Kirby designed an improved fishing hook in 1655 that is relatively unchanged to this day. He went on to create a Kirby bend, a typical hook with an offset point, still commonly used today.
During the 18th century, the fishing industry became commercialized - rods and tackles sold in men's clothing stores. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, craftsmen moved to Redditch which became the center of production of fishery-related products from the 1730s. Onesimus Ustonson founded his trading shop in 1761, and his founding remained as the market leader for the next century. He received the Kingdom Order and became the official supplier of fishing for three successive kings that began with King George IV during this period.
Some people praised Onesimus with the discovery of winch multiplication, though he is certainly the first to advertise his sales. The initial multiplier rolls are wide and have small diameter, and their gears, made of brass, are often damaged after extensive use. His first commercial was in the form of a trading card date of 1768 and was titled For all fishing lovers . A complete list of texts it sells includes artificial flies, and 'the best type of brass crane that doubles both the stop and the ordinary'. Industrial commercialization comes at a time when an expanded interest in fishing as a recreational hobby for aristocratic members.
Expansion
Fly-fishing Britain continued to flourish in the 19th century, with the advent of fishing clubs, along with the emergence of several books on flying and fishing techniques. Alfred Ronalds takes sport fishing, learning crafts on the Trent, Blythe and Dove rivers. On the Blythe River, near the place now called Creswell Green, Ronalds built a riverside fishing hut designed primarily as an observation of trout behavior in rivers. From this hut, and elsewhere in his native river, Ronalds experimented and formulated the ideas that were finally published in The Entomology of Lovers-Fishing in 1836.
He combines his knowledge of fishing with his skills as a carver and a printer, to smother his work with 20 color plates. This is the first comprehensive work related to entomology associated with fly fishing and most of the fly historians lure Ronalds credits by setting a literary standard in 1836 which is still followed today. Describing the method, technique, and most importantly, the artificial fly, in a mean way for the angler and illustrating it in color is the method of presentation that can be seen in most of the literature on fly fishing at this time.
In the mid to late 19th century, expanding recreational opportunities for the middle and lower classes began to have an effect on fly fishing, which continues to grow in mass appeal. The expansion of the rail network in the UK allows the less affluent people for the first time to travel on weekends to the beach or to the river for fishing. Richer fans traveled further abroad. The great rivers of Norway full of large salmon stocks began to attract large numbers of British fishermen in the middle of this century - The Jones Guide to Norway, and the salmon-fisher fisherman , published in 1848, written by Frederic Tolfrey and is a popular guide for the country.
In the south of England, dry-bait fishing gained an elitist reputation as the only acceptable method for luring slower, clearer rivers in the south such as the Test River and other lime streams concentrated in Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset and Berkshire ( see South Indian Lime Formation for geological specifications). Weeds found in these rivers tend to grow very close to the surface, and it is felt necessary to develop new techniques that will keep flies and lines on the surface of the river. This is the basis of all dry-fly developments later on.
However, nothing can prevent the success of the wet fly on this lime stream, because G. E. Skues is proven by fly fly and dolphin techniques. For dry-fly puritan horror, Skues later wrote two books, the Minor Tactics of Chalk Stream, and The Way of a Trout with a Fly, which greatly influenced the development of wet fly fish. In northern England and Scotland, many anglers also love wet fishing, where the technique is more popular and widely practiced than in southern England. One of Scotland's leading supporters of the wet fly in the early 19th century was W.C. Stewart, who published "The Practical Angler" in 1857.
In the United States, attitudes toward fishing methods are almost rigidly defined, and both dry and wet catches are quickly adapted to state conditions. Anglers who fly there, are considered the first anglers to use artificial bait for bass fishing. After depressing to the fly and coping service designed for trout and salmon to catch largemouth and smallmouth bass, they began adjusting these patterns to certain bass flies. Fly anglers are looking for bass to develop spinner/fly lure and bass popper fly, which is still used today.
At the end of the 19th century, American anglers, such as Theodore Gordon, in the Catskill Mountains in New York began using fly catchers to lure river-rich trout rivers such as Beaverkill and Willowemoc Creek. Many of these early American flyflies also developed new flying patterns and wrote extensively about their sport, increasing the popularity of fishing in the region and in the United States as a whole. Albert Bigelow Paine, a New England writer, writes about fishing at The Tent Dwellers, a book about a three-week trip that he and a friend brought to Central Nova Scotia in 1908.
Participation in fly fishing reached its peak in the early 1920s in the eastern states of Maine and Vermont and in the Midwest in the spring of the Wisconsin river. Along with deep-sea fishing, Ernest Hemingway does a lot to popularize flies through his works, including The Sun Also Rises.
Massive fisheries began as a sport after the invention of motorized boats. In 1898, Dr. Charles Frederick Holder, an early marine biologist and conservationist, pioneered this sport and went on to publish many articles and books on recorded subjects for a combination of accurate scientific detail with interesting narratives.
One method of increasing popularity is kayak fishing. Kayaks are hidden and allow anglers to reach areas that can not be transported from land or by conventional boat. In addition, fishing from kayaking is considered by some as an attempt to equate the field of play, to some extent, to their mines and/or to challenge their fishing ability further by bringing additional complexity to their sport.

Fishing
The method of fishing varies according to the area taken, the target species, the personal strategy of the angler, and the available resources. Starting from the aristocratic art of fly fishing described in England, to the high-tech methods used to pursue marlin and tuna. Fishing is usually done with hooks, lines, rods and reels rather than with nets or other tools.
Among the most common offshore saltwater fish are marlin fish, tuna, sailfish, sharks, and mackerels.
In North America, freshwater fish include trout, bass, spear, catfish, walleye and muskellunge. The smallest fish are called panfish, because they can fit whole in a regular cooking pot. Examples are the perch and the mola-mola (Centrarchidae).
In the past, sport fishermen, even if they did not eat their catches, almost always killed them to take them to shore for weighing or for preservation as trophies. To protect recreational fishing fishermen, it now often catches and releases, and sometimes marks and releases, involving the installation of fish with identity tags, vital statistical records, and sending notes to government agencies.
Fishing techniques
Leisure fishing techniques include hand collection, spearfishing, fishing nets, fishing and trapping.
Most recreational fishermen use fishing lines with fishing rods and hooks at the end of the line. The trunk can be fitted with a roll so that the line can be rolled up, and some form of feed or bait attached to the hook. Fly fishing is a special form of fishing line where the roll is attached to the back of the stem, and the line is thrown with complex repetitive whipping movements to produce ultra-light artificial flies to its target. Another less common technique is bowfishing using a regular bow or a cross bow. "Arrow" is a modified bolt with barbs at the end, connected to fishing line so the fish can be taken. Some crossbows are equipped with scrolls.
The use of effective fishing techniques often depends on knowledge of fish and their behavior including migration, foraging and habitat. Although of course there is an element of "luck" for fishing, a recent article on science-based synthesis reveals that fishing is a complex function of three interdependent key processes: the internal state of individual fish, its encounter with equipment, and the characteristics of the teeth encountered (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/faf.12219/full).
Fishing
Fishing is a general term that refers to the equipment used by fishermen. Almost all equipment or equipment used for fishing can be called fishing. Some examples are hooks, lines, sinkers, floats, rods, reels, baits, lures, spears, nets, gaffs, traps, waders and tackle boxes.
The tackle attached to the fishing end is called terminal tackle . These include hooks, sinkers, floats, leaders, swivels, split rings and wires, studs, beads, spoons, knives, spinners and clevises to install spinning knives for fishing bait. Pathways, hooks, baits and other fishing gear are arranged together to form fishing gear.
Fishing can be contrasted with fishing techniques. Fishing tackle refers to the physical equipment used during fishing, while the fishing technique refers to the way tackle is used when fishing.
Rules and regulations
Recreational fishing has conventions, rules, licensing restrictions and laws that limit how to catch fish. The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) creates and oversees a series of voluntary guides. Typically, this prohibits the use of nets and fishing with hooks not in the mouth. The enacted regulations are enforced by the government to ensure sustainable practices amongst anglers. For example, in the Republic of Ireland, the Central Fisheries Council oversees the implementation of all fishing rules, which include controls on fishing lures, feeds and the number of permitted hooks, as well as other conservation-based licensing and limitation requirements. Although voluntary regulations, fishing and fishing as a means of protecting and defending game species have become increasingly common practice among conservative-minded recreational anglers.
Fish log
Some recreational anglers keep one fish bar they catch, and hand over a trophy-sized fish to an independent registrar. In the Republic of Ireland, the Irish Specimen Fish Commission verifies and publishes trophic fishing captured with sticks and lines by anglers in Ireland, both in fresh and marine waters. The committee also ratified Irish recording caught trunks. It uses a set of 'fair play' rules to ensure fish are caught in accordance with accepted fishing norms.
Competition
Recreation fishing competitions (tournaments) is a recent innovation in which fishermen compete for prizes based on the total weight of certain fish species captured within a specified time. This sport evolved from a local fishing contest to a large competitive circuit, especially in North America. The most frequent competitor of professional fishermen supported by commercial support. The other competitions are based purely on length with mandatory capture and release. Either the longest fish or the total length documented with cameras and mandatory stickers or unique items, the practice is used because it is difficult to weigh the fish that lives accurately on the boat.
Fishing races involve individuals when fishing takes place from land, and usually the team if done from a boat, as well as certain times and areas to catch fish. Scores are awarded for each fish captured. The given points depend on the weight and species of the fish. Sometimes the score is divided by the strength of the fishing line used, generating more points for those who use thinner and weaker lines. In tag and release competitions, the average score is given per captured fish species, divided by line strength. Usually sports fishing competitions reward the boat or team with the most points.
In Australia, self-managed standards for environmental assessment of fishing tournaments have been proposed as alternatives and possible pathways to ISO 14001 international standards. This standard assesses environmental, social, economic, and public risk factors. Tournament organizers may apply for voluntary certification. In some US states, fishing agents and competition providers create their own codes of practice.
Industry
The recreational fishing industry consists of companies such as the manufacture and retail of fishing, recreational boat design and building, and the provision of fishing boats for charter and guided fishing trips.
"Pay to fish" companies provide anglers with controlled access to lakes, ponds, or canals stocked. This provides off-season fishing opportunities and permitted quotas applied to public waters. In the United Kingdom, such commercial fisheries charge access fees. In North America, companies typically charge for captured fish, with length or weight, not for access to the site even though some companies charge two types of fees.
Recreational fishing is a multibillion dollar industry. In the United States in 2014, about 11 million saltwater recreation fishermen generate $ 58 billion in sales impact. In contrast, commercial fishing generated $ 141 billion in sales.
Biological invasion
Some species, such as Cichla kelberi, C. piquiti, rainbow trout, and many species in the Centrarchidae family have been introduced in natural or artificial environments for sport fishing. Some of these species have caused some impact in aquatic biota.
