Canal Fishing : A Practical Guide

The only complete modern guide to fishing Britain’s canals. These waters are accessible to all, usually free, and much under-rated for their sport. Dominic Garnett, angling’s most exciting new writer and film-maker, shows you the techniques, baits and tackle for all the species from roach and tench to pike and perch and everything in between.

With hundreds of miles of underfished water, canals represent a vast, untapped fishing resource. From shallow, secluded rural waters to giant urban ship channels, they offer a staggering diversity of angling potential which is open and affordable to all. Britain’s canals have never been in better shape, with a huge range of species to target. From classic roach fishing to specimen carp, pike and increasingly common surprises like chub and zander, this book covers everything from traditional to ultra-modern techniques. This is more than just a ‘how to’ volume. With details of venues and notable fish records from every part of the UK, this book also represents an essential guide to Britain’s canals. Whether you’re planning a short break or looking for a fresh challenge on your local ‘Cut’, Dominic Garnett’s book is packed with inspiring ideas, beautiful photography and invaluable information
