Our canal fisheries are mainly towpath making ideal venues for pegged down matches to be run.
SPECIES - The canal is known for its roach and these often used to be found at around the pound mark with many fish almost reaching two pounds however over recent years the bream shoals have been taking over and the average size of roach seems to be dropping. At the Hunton bridge end you can expect roach plus plenty of gudgeon with chub not being to uncommon carp are often the bonus fish and the biggest reported is 36lbs this from the Tring end of the canal. Their numbers make it possible to be worth fishing for them especially if the swim is known to be a holding spot for them. But because its the canal the tackle needs to be scaled down to ensure success. Bream do show from the odd swim at the bottom end but as we move up the canal towards Tring the chub tend to show less with bream becoming much more evident. Some of the known swims further up the canal have produced heavy bags of bream even as high as 100lbs have been reported. In recent years two barbel have been reported as caught from the canal one exceeded 4lbs. Crayfish are causing problems on some parts these will take almost any bait and make presentation to fish difficult when they are most active.	The canal varies from pound to pound due to small rivers running in and out at points along its coarse. This means that parts of the canal will either be flowing at one point or completely still in the next pound the only movement caused by boats using the locks. Some parts may be clear and a short distance away coloured by water flowing from a small river.
