Tricky Words in today's OVI

Tricky Words in today's OVI

This week's column is devoted to the "quiet crazy-men" among our readers, otherwise known as fishermen or anglers. These two names can be used to make the difference between the professional working men on large sea-going boats called trawlers who catch cod, herring and tuna fish for our dinner-tables (fishermen), and the amateurs (no suggestion of lack of seriousness here; I mean "sport-loving people") who spend their free time sitting on the banks of lakes or standing mid-stream in rivers, using a rod, line, reel and hook (often decorated to fool the fish, then it's called a "fly", or with a maggot or worm stuck on it as bait) to catch trout, pike, perch or catfish (anglers). This name comes from the old German word for hook, but it also reflects the idea of the "angle" (uhol) formed between the rod and the line as the fish is played and reeled in.
