Some of you might have heard the tragic news that a Father (43) and son (19) bodies have been recovered from the canal by police divers on Saturday night.
The area where their bodies were recovered is on one of my own club waters in Cooper bridge area of Huddersfield. Apparently they were 'magnet' fishing at the time (not maggot fishing as I first thought), both are anglers too.
I must admit I'd not heard of magnet fishing before, but it seems they do it to find and haul out metal from the water.
Quite how both men drowned is puzzling because if they were found in the canal as reported, there is hardly a tow, the river that feeds it at the other side of the lock however can get a bit pacey especially after rain. Police are saying there are no suspicious circumstances at this time.
Tragic nonetheless. RIP
