Canals

[theoneandonly]

Looking to start fishing on canals for carp, just wondering where best place to go is ?

[stoogi]

I've got a great little place by me. It's got a hot water inlet from a factory & there's no boat traffic. If you have anywhere like this near to you it would be a good place to start.

 

Also look near pubs. You'll often see people feeding the birdlife & carp like a free meal too.

The best day's fishing I've ever had was on a marina off the Birmingham-Fazeley Canal, in Fazeley.

 

Most of the boats are used as permanent residences and the fish get fed frequently and become used to all manner of feed. This particular marina can only be fished from one of the moored boats but I know of others where angling is allowed.

 

Worth a look?

You're welcome. I wish you luck in your search.

 

Let us know how you get on. Out of interest, where are you based? There may be people on here local to you who can offer more specific information than mine.

I can think of a couple of marinas in the Midlands that are worth a crack. However, as Ian stated, some of them are off-limits to non-residents (well, kinda ... )
