Thanks for all the replies lads theres been some could imput and comments by everyone thanks, i have chosen a spot directly under a tree on the far bank in the picture showing straight ahead, ive been feeding little bits of meat and corn done this 4 times in the past 3 weeks, will get the rake out tonight and rake the far bank where ive chosen, may get a couple of bags of gravel from work aswell to throw in, will be fishing next week atleast 3 nights in the evening will let you know how it goes! thanks again lads Jack.

Thanks lads will continue feeding the spots with small amounts of corn and hemp, will giveit it a week or 2 before i fish it as im concentrating on a private pool at the moment ill let you know how i get on Jack

Thanks newmarket ill bee baiting it for a few weeks then get down there a few evenings after work, drop my rigs in with my pole get them where i want them Jack

Yep thats it free fishing and easy for me to pop in and out just need to sort a gate on the back and chop abit of the overgrowth would you try natural baits before boilies? maybe corn meat or even pellets?

Thanks lads, as i say its few and very far between this far up the avon canal though!

Its accessible to the public its not far from a road bridge/access you get the odd dog walker but thats about it havnt seen any one fishing here in ages.

Im going to mate cant find any info at all though atleast not recent anyway there was some big lumps years ago but i literally never see anyone fishing ! even for the silvers and theres some good roach. Ill be prebaiting and spending a few nights down there wish me luck Jack.

They are indeed they split up for awhile! what a voice ali has for a man from moseley birmingham!

I dont even like Red Red Wine so thats not true lol

I have the stratford avon canal behind my house in birmingham, gonna prebait and try get a carp out of here heard theres some big girls but never ever fished! if not theres a fair few pike to go for aswel! Hope you like the pictures! all i have to do is walk top of my garden jump the fence and im there Wish me luck will take some hours! Jack.

http://www.anglersmail.co.uk/blog/big-fish-thursdays/big-fish-blog-thurs-top-tips-for-pike-fishing-in-spring-and-summer-38658 There you are pal have a read of that

Ive been looking to do some piking myself, i read its still allright to fish for them just try and get them in and back in the water as fast as possible as they dont last well out the water, also when dead baiting use barbless hooks they swallow!

earlswood perhaps? you can bivvy up the far end on the wall near the road next to each other.

im gonna give it ago for the tench anyway so where would you say would be best welshpool town? or going towards llanymynech or how ever u spell lol.

Ah I see nige, I found a post on here from 2008 a lad said the canal widens as it goes under a bridge somewhere between newtown and welshpool and he used to see a shoal of carp, that's a shame if there isn't any any more, I dare say ill give it ago for the tench anyway thanks for the reply mate might have a walk down it later if I can find where it widens, thanks for the reply.

Been looking into fishing the Montgomery canal, ive read a few places there is carp in there between newtown and welshpool and tench but its all old info and cant find anythink recent if anyone has any info id very much appreciate it thanks! Jack.
