Tim ,I am a member of Marlborough A.C Committee and have fished there waters all my life.We control fifteen miles of the Kennet and Avon Canal the nearest point to Marlborough being Burbage Wharf.We are also near to completion on a couple of lakes which will be local to Marlborough.As far as the canal goes we are now heading into the time when boat traffic calms down,and the first frosts kill the colour,this means pole and punch for bites all day from pristine Roach expect bags of up to double figures.We also have a large pike population ,mainly singles and mid doubles ,some twenties.Around 150 Carp between 8lb and 23lb often caught by match anglers as well as carpies.Tench have taken a back seat in recent years ,due to the massive in crease in boat traffic.Perch have been on the increase for many years now,so have skimmers large Bream are there but need to be located first.
