A colleague of mine came up with a great expression the other day, albeit accidentally (and he was oblivious to his mistake!):
"He's got his snoff in the trout".
I have since discovered that "snoff" is a short candle end used for igniting a fuse.
I do believe, however, that this type of fishing has been outlawed in most places.
