What is Angling?

Angling is a method of fishing by means of an "angle" (hook). The sport is typically performed with a fishing rod, reel, line, and hooks equipped with baits or lures. Angling can be enjoyed in rivers, lakes, or the sea and is known for being both a relaxing and strategic sport.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Angling?

Yes. While angling is a relatively safe activity, accidents can happen, including injuries from hooks, weather-related incidents, or equipment loss. Travel insurance can cover medical treatments, lost or damaged fishing gear, and trip cancellations.
