How many generations of Wigan lads began a lifelong interest in fishing like this? With nothing more than a stick, a few maggots and an abundance of hope!

Umpteen thousands I should think, DTease. And with the occasional eye for each others floats, their cries of You've just had a bite, Your floats just gone under, Quick, strike!, . . . , would have spread along the line instantly - no competition then, of course, just a shared excitement. Great days.
