Saturday afternoons after the end of the football season seem to mean young lads turn to fishing on the canal. There are no mobile phones or video games here, which is to be applauded. The patience required to fish is considerable, even if there are plenty of fish in the canal and not all are minnows. There is a legendary, giant pike which I have been told about by two different fishermen, but I don't think my arms are long enough to illustrate the size of this fish!
