'fond of novelty modern female went fishing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'modern female went fishing' is the wordplay.
'modern' becomes 'new' (associated in meaning).
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'went fishing' becomes 'angled' (I've seen this in another clue).
'new'+'f'+'angled'='NEWFANGLED'

Can you help me to learn more?
