The Grand Union Canal Stoke Hammond to Pitstone
Available to Non Members on a Day Ticket
The club has just over 11 miles of fishing along the Grand Union Canal. this part of the Grand Union canal is considered by many to be the best canal fishing in the country in fact it has appeared in many of the angling magazines and newspapers and has been featured on many DVD's and TV shows.
The average depth is about 1.25 metres in the boat channel although some stretches are deeper with the marginal shelves being considerably shallower.
During the summer months there is a relatively high level of leisure boat traffic which can disturb the water, however when the boat traffic quietens down many anglers enjoy the good stocks of Roach, Perch, Bream, Carp and Gudgeon.
Perch have been caught over 3lb and there are also large carp in many of the sections.
The milder spells of weather during the winter months can provide double figure bags of Roach, as well as good Bream and Perch, whilst The carp angler will find that the carp are active at any time of the season.
Members and Day Ticket anglers may fish from the towpaths and the offside bank where accessible legitimately by the public. Do not trespass on any farmland or private property.
