Description: Cashmores AC control 101 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
