People fishing on the canals

[Danbert Nocurry]

In my opinion nothing looks more depressing than a bloke covered in green cam coloured waterproofs with a little tent and bits and bobs next to a canal on a rainy day.

Their little hexi burners flickering away heating a cup of measly tea that in no way compensates for the depressing scenario that they find themselves part of. :w00t:

I haven't fished for years. I think the "nothing looks more depressing..." is a bit OTT but I do think canal fishing is pretty boring and I've always found it strange how someone can get excited by a 12oz roach.
Now a Nile perch, that's something else!!

I would perhaps say nothing is more depressing that someone sat at home on a Saturday afternoon, starting a thread on the fell runners forum about canal fishing :w00t:

The look on their faces as i ran past them last night was despair personified.

Probably they were using fishing poles and they took one look at you Danbert and decided you wouldn't be nimble enough to hurdle them

It would be like

Unless it comes from a nine foot spliff.
