CUBAN SPORTS FISHING. HISTORY AND TRADITION
Ismael León Almeida

A research project in 9 chapters that managed to rescue the sport news from the line and the hooks in Cuba since the 19th century, with references to associations, tournaments and specialized publications, among other profiles, forming a study of a broad approach on one of the Favorite entertainment in the country. It covers the common fishing methods in the country, such as Creole rod, line fishing, the introduction of spinning, trolling or trolling boom and the arrival in the XXI century of fishing To fly, technique of high international recognition for its complexity and to associate to the practice of this hobby under principles more respectful with the environment. Particular emphasis is placed on the exposition of the fishing legislation that has prevailed in each stage studied and the characteristics of its application to this leisure activity.

Because of its broad social base and its economic and environmental implications, sport - recreational fishing is of interest for research that reveals its particular profiles, both in terms of its specific techniques and other derivations of its individual or collective practice.
The present work aims to establish a starting pattern for this purpose in our country and our particular conditions, establishing a historical profile ─ very susceptible to criticism and refinement ─ from which other authors can generate particular optics for their respective approaches.
Little studied, even very little assumed in narrative and literature in general, sport fishing has been present among the hobbies with which the Cuban has filled his free time during all the time he built his history and his project of nation, Without being given to the subject, in very few occasions, more than a brief report of its importance, in the conglomerate of the national traditions.
Today we focus on the need to define the intrinsic space of hobby fishing, depriving it of the implications of consumption or monetary intention. To do this, and so that it can be used as an environmental education tool ─ among other benefits it can offer ─ fishing must begin to be assumed as an object of study. Only in Spanish.
