This is a long disused canal, it is about 3ft deep, very shallow and weedy in places, in the winter the EA drop the levels even further to about 2ft. I have caught fish along it, plenty of rudd and roach a few bream, there are a few carp, not many but I have seen a couple, tench and there must be perch and pike. I have caught fish except in the one swim where I think I should catch the most, it is the only deep spot along the whole stretch, about 15ft, I have fished it at all depths, with a variety of baits and not caught one fish in it. Several tries and especially in the winter, I would have thought all the fish along that stretch would be there but nothing. Could be me or just one of those fishing enigmas but, any theories as to why?
( the pictures show the normal length and the the deep hole, there is a feeder dyke going in there and a small weir which should oxygenate the water a bit, making it a further fish draw, sorry about the size of pics, new computer and have not worked it out yet))
