A squirrel being successfully lifted

Squirrel fishing is the practice of enticing squirrels and attempting to lift them into the air using a nut (such as a peanut) tied to a string or fishing line and optionally some kind of fishing pole.[1]

There has been some debate over where modern squirrel fishing originated. Squirrel fishing occurred at least as early as 1889 in the United States.[2] The practice was popularized either by Nikolas Gloy and Yasuhiro Endo at the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University[3] or by the Berkeley Squirrel Fisher's Club (BSF), an official student group at the University of California, Berkeley that has been featured in the campus newspaper.[4] since 2009Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., Ohio State University also had a squirrel fishing club.[5] Michigan State University joined in 2015.[6]
