Fishing today in Pike Lock Spill Weir

Whilst passing Pike Lock late this afternoon, a group of 4 young men were spotted fishing in and around the area - with magnets!

Apparently magnet fishing is a sport.  A brief exchange enquiring as to their success revealed that the main catch was rusty nails!  It was pointed out to them that the lock had recently been cleared, so unlikely to yield a WW2 shell.

I asked them to let me know should they find a propeller or £1m!
