Has anyone ever walked past an angler by the side of a river, lake or canal and at that precise moment of passing seen them actually reel in a fish? It must happen as often as a big Lotto win, if at all. These ‘ermen’ – as I doubt the existence of fish in said aquatic bodies – seem to be playing the equivalent role of the untargetted press release sent out by the PR executive, whizzing out his email like the line on a rod. If anyone has an experience of walking past an ermen and seeing a fish pulled from the water, I would be grateful for their tale. Please note spelling of the last word in the previous sentence.
