The canal
The canal is a feature-rich lake, accessible from the main car park. The canal averages 12.5m wide, and is over 400m long, hosting 42 fishing pegs. A typical cross-section in most pegs reveals a short shelf at both banks, with a slightly deeper main channel.
fish:
This ‘super-canal’ provides large quality bags of silver fish, with enough Carp to keep your elastic moving! Fish also include: Bream, Barbel, Chub, Roach, Rudd and Perch. Some are Carp 10lb+.
bait/tactics
Fish maggot, caster or chopped worm in margin or just over the shelf for silvers and some F1s.
For larger weights in matches, fish tight to far bank with hard pellet. Sometimes it is worth trying ‘up-in-the-water’ 3/4 across for Carp and F1s on Pellets.
