Chasing Silver on the Old Canal

 

A few pleasant hours alone on Lancashire's Leeds and Liverpool Canal produced ten fish.

Sadly, no record breakers yet I am always happy when out there in the wilds using my old Spanish Reed rod, Bakelite centrepin and homemade floats.

Many anglers that I meet are often stuck on catching huge carp or pike. As for me, I just love wandering along with the old gear watching my float bob about and size never really matters. It's all just about 'being there' really.

Roach, bream and hybrids were taking...
