Tried to take a catch leaning over (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angled

I believe this is a double definition.

'tried to take a catch' is the first definition.
(as in angling for fish)

'leaning over' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for angled that I've seen before include "Fished with hook and bait" , "Slanted" , "Glenda (anag.)" , "Cornered" , "Went fishing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
