I was ambling back to work via the canal towpath this lunchtime, when I was passed by a chap carrying a fishing rod, fully deployed, but dragging the line beside him as he walked along the waterway.
I have never seen this form of angling before, and as I assumed that it would be an unsuccessful approach to catching anything, I speculated as to the chap's purpose.
Was he, I contemplated, taking his pet fish for a walk?
I looked as he passed me, but the end of the line appeared bereft of any such companion.
Nice idea though.
(To be perfectly honest with you; I think he was probably a bit mad, but you're not allowed to say things like that these days are you?)
