A few of the words

CREEL
A creel is the woven basket an angler carries to keep the day's catch fresh, a design so practical it has barely changed in centuries.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
BOBBER
A bobber, that bright float on the line, does more than signal a bite; its sudden dip is the moment a lazy afternoon snaps instantly to life.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
SNELL
To snell a hook means to tie the line in a specific knot directly to the hook's shank, giving the angler a clean, straight pull on the strike.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
DRAG
The drag on a reel is a friction brake that lets line slip out under a set tension, the key to tiring a strong fish without snapping the line.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Landing the Catch: a free online word search

Landing the catch word search, free to print and keep, for the tug on the line and the net breaking the surface.

About Landing the Catch

A particular stillness settles in just before a fish takes the lure, the line goes taut, the rod bends, and suddenly every quiet hour of waiting earns its keep. Bringing a fish to net is its own art: a steady drag, a patient reel, and the knowing when to lift. A speckled trout in a cold mountain stream, a largemouth bass holding deep in warm still water, landing the catch is the moment every angler lives for.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
