Great stuff everyone! Here is an entry from Town Lake in McKinney. In the 9 years we've lived in McKinney I've seen dozens of people fishing here.. I have yet to see a fish on the line.... At least there are birds to photograph there.. John

John, yes a lot of these urban fishing spots don't result in catching much fish. It is just for the enjoyment of being out there, I think. Here are a couple of men fishing at the Shinkashi-gawa (river) in Itabashi-ku, Tokyo a few days ago:

I haven't seen them for years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_floatYesterday I was browsing through some old photos and I found this close-up of some old glass fishing floats in Japan.

Nice details Henry - these kind of floats are much favoured by the interior decoractors in Cornish pubs . Amazing to think they were ever used for real.
