Approximately 9 miles of canal (bridge 68 – 76 and 81 – 102) winding through parkland and urban areas with an average depth of 1.25 metres. Fish from towpath side ONLY.
The canal is a mixed fishery and can throw up a few surprises, it has produced carp to 37lb which held the Milton Keynes Angling Association for a number of years , it has also produced eels to 9lb and catfish to 30lb. It has good stocks of silvers, bream/skimmers in abundance, plenty of roach, rudd, perch, pike along with tench, carp, zander and localised stocks of chub. A good option for anglers when the rivers are in flood and is a good reserve venue for club matches when the river is out of sorts. (please see breakdown of canal sections and bridge numbers).
Open all year.
Day tickets are available on the bank.
Night fishing is permitted
• Please avoid hitting boats with ground bait and tackle or disturbing residents of moored boats.
• The canal tow path can be busy with walkers/jogger/cyclist so we would urge anglers not to completely block towpaths when fishing.
