Illustrated Canal Fishing Diaries chronicles my rediscovery and rekindled passion for canal fishing. It follows my first year of exploring stretches of my local canals, the Leeds & Liverpool, and Lancaster Canals. As you will see in the pages of this book, there have been many pleasant surprises: unexpected species, quality fish, and excellent sport while employing simple, traditional tactics and low-cost baits. Anglers frequently ignore canals, despite the fact that they are excellent fishing spots with miles of untapped potential. I hope this book encourages you to try canal fishing. If you do, you will not be disappointed.
