A propos de rien

[dglenn]

It occurs to me that "guddling" (and likewise "guddle") is a funny-sounding word.

Yeah, it sounds a little like "cuddling" as spoken by somebody with a bad cold. A cold they caught, perhaps, lying half-in/half-out of a stream, doing something fishy. But I've no clue as to the actual etymology.

Identify this word.

There's a name (and documentary film) for fishing by free diving and sticking your fist in holes hoping a fish will bite it. If you're good, you'll lose a finger from time to time. This form of fishing is illegal in some U.S. states.
