Untwisting the line before it ends game fishing (13)
I believe the answer is:
disentangling
'untwisting the line before' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'it ends game fishing' is the wordplay.
'game' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters play around).
'fishing' becomes 'angling' ('angle' can be a synonym of 'fish').
'it'+'ends'='itends'
'itends' is an anagram of 'disent'.
'disent'+'angling'='DISENTANGLING'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
