Fishing rods and baskets. Not a ridiculously long, canal bank blocking, fishing pole in sight!!

Thanks,David. Lovely photo which captures those times when a three piece rod,a reel and a basket for a seat were all you needed. It takes me back to happy times!

I do not know anyone on the photo but it does capture the era. no doubt my dad organized this fishing match as he would have been match secretary at the time
