dangled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hung around' is the definition.
'dangled' can be an answer for 'hung' (dangling is a kind of hanging). I'm not sure about the 'around' bit.

'dutch went fishing' is the wordplay.
'dutch' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation).
'went fishing' becomes 'angled' (I've seen this in another clue).
'd'+'angled'='DANGLED'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
