Canal fishing

Don't let the title fool you, canal fishing has nothing to do with fish, but you will use a length of line/rope and a hook of some fashion. Canal fishing is usually born of desperation, the desperation that comes with having your bike (fiets) stolen for the umpteenth time. Many of these stolen bikes find there way into canals for some reason or another and unless they are "fished" out will remain there in an ignoble grave. To begin, gather the necessary equipment (as described above) and walk the older canals slowly, peering over the side for the perfect fiets habitat. When you happen upon a likely spot (preferrably out of plain sight) toss out your hook and drag it across the bottom of the canal. If your aim is true, or your luck is phenomenal you may well land a fiets; if you are really lucky it will be an omafiets - then your riding in style. I don't think this is illegal, but if it is don't blame me :-)
