Somehow, I picture netting and/or trapping came first (which we still do). And you’re right...where are the holes for the line in those hooks?? Or were they attached to poles?? Guess I’ll think about it.

How did they attach the fishing line?

What did they use for fishing line? Either sinew, or some fibrous plant material. See here.
Mastering the art of fishing, whether using hooks, spears, or fish traps, would have been a way to get good protein while not needing to expend a lot of energy. If you had the village by a river, those not physically-fit to go hunting could have fished.

What did they use for fishing line? Well, duh? The inner strands of paracord, obviously.
