Hi you wanna try going past them in a boat when a match on never had has much abuse in my life, i a fisherman but always polite to boaters, it cost me 500 quid a year to be on the canal its there for everyones enjoyment

I used to bike the Leeds Liverpool canal up around Leeds back in the early 90s - back then littered with anglers and those 30ft bloody telegraph poles they used to stretch out over the path. Such a set of whingeing bstards reluctantly clearing the path so you could get past. I took to bunnyhopping over them which they didn't like.

Nowadays there are so many runners and bikers around the anglers don't even bother using the canal anymore - good times.

Its swings and roundaboutes mate give and take then both biker and angler can enjoy the canal bank.

What on earth are you talking about?

I watched the whole (very boring) video and didn't see one single angler get in your way. I ride a bike and I fish btw so I see both sides.

canals are ther for all to enjoy,nowhere did i see a grumpy fisherman,telegraph poles are very expensive,over a £1000 some,bikes are £30 in second hand shop.

have some respect that u r lucky enough to be able to ride on a PUBLIC FOOTPATH !Being a water bailiff I do both and have the respect to wait if an angler is shipping his pole !

i cant understand the need for speed,u will miss everything there is to see.
