What is ANGLER in Spanish?

Ah, Global Warming...now I can go fishing anywhere!        An ANGLER is a Fisherman, but a Fisherman is not necessarily an ANGLER. A Fisherman is anyone who does that precisely: they go fishing.      ANGLER is a very specific term, it refers to someone who goes fishing by only using a line and a hook, so no traps, nets, or anything like it.        The Spanish translation of Fisherman is PESCADOR, but there is not a word for ANGLER, so what we say in this case is PESCADOR.

How do you say DECEPCIÓN in English?

  "four, three, two, one...(I'm Ok, just playing Hide and Seek)" The word Deception does exist in English, but it does not mean DECEPCIÓN.  According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the meaning of Deception is "the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid something that is false or invalid."  The translation of Deception in Spanish is then Engaño , but not DECEPCIÓN. The Spanish word DECEPCIÓN refers to what you feel when you are unable to reach the goals you set for yourself or what you desired did not happen as you expected.  And that is plain DISAPPOINTMENT.
