Keep it on the lighter side! It's more fun. I think I have the answer!
Canal:TRANSPORTATION waterway: an artificial waterway constructed for use by shipping, for irrigation, or for recreational use. A canal may take in parts of natural rivers along its course.
I have every respect for the canal fishermen/man/fisherwoman/women!
It has it's own science. To be successful you need the knowledge, or a lot of luck!(Right place right time!) Every time I have been their I have done a header on the rocks.
So one thing is sure, you need to be sure footed.
Answer No.1 You are a Recreational Fisherman/Fishermen and or fisherwoman/women!
On the lighter side you could be fishing in a trough [ trawf, trof !]
Trof:a long hollow area in the surface of the ground or the sea bed, or between waves, a narrow channel, in which liquid passes.
I like the latter.
Answer No.2 They could be Trof fishing people. That will cover both sexes.
Bill see what you started. You certainly should win the most controversial posts award!
My defenition is it's a Trof. When you come right down to it, it is a trof of water that is controled by the moon and the tides, that carries fish to and fro!
Later Folks, L

You are only as good as the person who’s driving the boat! By the way, the Devil drives my boat!
