Found your web site and thought you may find a picture of one of my fishing sessions of interest to people with disabilities.
 
I totally paralysed my right arm in a motorcycle accident some years back, but this has never stopped me from enjoying my fishing.

No problem playing and landing fish using only one arm, you just have to stick the rod between your knees and get the landing net ready for action!
 
Anyway the Photo is of my best fish to Date, a 25lb Mirror carp caught on my local canal on an an night session.
 
Hope the pic may help to give others with a disability some encouragement with their Angling.

    Very impressive fish mate! It's my legs that don't work so it doesn't really affect my fishing much. It must've took a great amount of skill and strength to land that one. Well done!
