Thanks to Steve for the first 2 pictures of a 9lb Pike caught by Keith,

and some surfers caught by a boat.

Steve himself threw in a hook to pull out a bike that got thrown into the river the day before. He must have had a lot of practise as he hooked it and pulled it out at the first attempt. The bike, an Apollo, was left on Wilsham Road by the old canal junction waiting to be reunited with its owner.
