It is an ancient practice which is at least 40,000 years old.

Fishing is popular in lakes and rivers all over the world as both a commercial activity and a leisure pursuit.

The total worldwide number of commercial farmers and fish farmers is around 38 million.

Direct and indirect employment by the fish industry is thought to benefit over 500 million people.

Techniques used to catch fish include:

  • Hand gathering
  • Spearing
  • Netting
  • Angling
  • Trapping

Popular areas for fishing include:

Even doing a spot of fishing by a placid lake in nice weather does bring a risk of injury.

Common injuries include:

  • Hooked fingers
  • Bruising
  • Muscle pain
  • Joint pain
  • Ligament tears
  • Stiffness

There is of course a risk of drowning so always wear lifejacket while fishing.

Pay particular attention to any children you may be fishing with and make sure they are not near the water unattended.

Modern hooks are much sharper than they used to be

If fishing hooks do become embedded in flesh then seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Before embarking on a fishing holiday it is a good idea for each member of your group to receive CPR training from an organisation such as the St John's ambulance.
