Local canal

[dave_2133]

My local canal is at the end of my road, does anyone know where i can get a ticket for thsi stretch, It is inbetween Cauldon College and Birches Head bridge. anyone from Stoke will know where i mean.

Dave, I have absolutely no idea where this canal is but I'd suggest that you visit the tackle shop nearest to the water and ask if they know who holds the fishing rights. Try a Google search, first?

does anyone else fish it? if so then politley ask them.

From my experience I work on the theory, as long as im not on private property and theres no signs telling me not to fish then its probably fair game. All the club stretches of water in my area are well signposted and those that are not are either free or ticket on the bank if the bailiff comes

email the waterways they will tell you who as control of the water but as like most canals, clubs have give up the lease and fish it for free cos the waterways can not control the fishing as they do not have the bailiffs to walk it, they are more intrested in unlicened boats.

Hi yeah there have been carp to low doubles out of the stratch but its mainly carp upto 9lb which are good sport and match gear.

 

There are a few matchmen that fish it so i'll see if they will tell me anything about the ticket. The local tackle shop(Taylors) that sold the tickets has now closed so i need to find out who now sells the tickets now.
