Person with a hook and line (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angler

(Other definitions for angler that I've seen before include "A rod-and-line fisherman" , "Isaac Walton wrote of the 'Compleat' one" , "Sportsman" , "person hoping to catch fish" , "Fisher with rod and line" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
