Here's another canal I'm associated with

Wyrley & Essington Canal Pelsall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Venue : Wyrley & Essington Canal Pelsall
Location: Norton Road B4154 Pelsall from York Bridge (Fingerpost pub) for 2km running west to Freeths Bridge at Fishley nr Little Bloxwich

Description: Cashmores AC control 102 permanent pegs 20 yards apart on this section of canal predominantly in a rural setting which see’s little boat traffic. There are distinctive sections along the canal including the ‘straight’ common (pegs 1-37) and more sheltered sections from Wood Lane Bridge (peg 38) moving west to Freeths Bridge.

Because of little boat traffic, the canal can be clear during winter months, but substantial vegetation – pads, cabbages and sedges - establish themselves during the summer, particularly on pegs 40 onwards. The canal is noted for it’s tench, typically 3lb but reputed to run much larger. As well as roach, perch, skimmers and bream for the match and pleasure angler to target, specimen hunters also target large carp and pike that inhabit the canal.

Season tickets are available £5 per annum running from 16th June each year

Match bookings are also welcomed at £1 peg

My local fishery is Magiscroft, Cumbernauld, although not one I frequent regularly, about 10 miles away. Strathclyde Park Loch is a venue only 1 mile from my doorstep.

We have sections of the Clyde which can be fished on different tickets, no more than 10 minutes from my house. Target species are Roach, Perch, Grayling and Barbel.

I tend to make trips back home to England for my fishing. I have fished several venues in South Wales where I used to live. In fact my avatar was taken at a match at White Springs, Pontardulais, the only time I have actually won a match with money involved!!!!!

If I could choose just two fisheries to spend my time they would be Rolfs, Oxford and Old Bury Hill, Estate Lake, near Dorking.
