Fishing

Of all the sports that people take an active part in, fishing is one of the most popular in Britain. There are about 4 million anglers in Britain. On Sundays on the banks of canals anglers sit for hours with their rods and wait for the fish to bite the worms on the hooks. They boast their size, weight and number of fish which they catch. Some enthusiasts enter for angling competitions. All along the sea-coast there is fishing, mainly from piers and boats. Coastal and deep sea fishing is free to all.
