MAGNET DANGERS: Tring Anglers are concerned that people are magnet fishing on the canals. Canal & River Trust says: ‘It’s great that people are interested in getting rubbish out of the canal. However, we don’t allow magnet fishing as it can be extremely dangerous. Items dragged out by magnets could be sharp or heavy and cause you to be dragged into the water. ‘We’ve even had reports of people fishing out old war bombs and dumped weapons. When people leave piles of metal on the towpath, it can cause problems for other visitors, for example, families with young children.’
