Hah. I know the answer to this one. In Dame Juliana Berners wrote her "treatise on ctahing a fish with an angle" written in 1604 I belive, she writes of how to catch fish with bait on a hook, then known not as a hook but an "angle". Incidently, the best part is the first book evr written on fishing was by a woman and a nun to boot!
