As kids coming home from Barrington CP School through the pit yard we often stopped to try and catch small fish, sticklebacks I think, from the pond using a piece of grass with a worm slid between the split end of a long piece of grass. When the fish wrapped it's mouth around the worm and you felt the tug on the grass you pulled the grass out of the water and the fish was still on the end of the worm

The above image is a compilation of photos posted within this group by @Rea + a comment from @HIGH PIT WILMA.
