Hello and welcome back to my latest blog where i am fishing again on the
grand western canal which starts in tiverton devon.Now with the weather looking
good my self and a couple mates decided to meet up and have a days fishing on
the canal so i left home and headed to the canal i was meeting the others on a
stretch of canal at halberton which we call between the bridges a short
stretch which is a good area in the summer we were hoping it was going to be
good fishing today as well as in the summer i met up with martin and we started
setting up Colin was going to join us in a hour or so.I started setting up i
was going to set up 2 top kits both with quite light elastic one a number 3 to
4 purple elastic through just a top 1 section of a match top 3 kit and a number
3 browning latex elastic again through just the top section of a match top 3
kit so now it was time to get some rigs on the tops on the number 3 elastic I was
going to use a drennan 4x12 float with a 2lb mainline and a 1.4 bottom to a
size 20 hook this rig was going to be a rig for fishing up in the water so
there was no need to plumb the depth so I hooked it up and put the kit in the
roost and the other top kit I put on a lake 0.3g pole float on a 2lb main line
to a 1.6oz bottom to the same as the other a Preston 20 hook this rig I was
going to fish dead depth so I plumbed it up and again clipped it up and placed
it on the roost I fed 2 medium cups of bread crumb and left it while I had a
chat with martin and Colin before I went back and started fishing I had fish
straight away it started off with small fish but as the day went on I started
getting bigger fish I chopped and changed from fishing up in the water and on
the bottom changing from 4 to 8 mm bread punch at the end of the session I had
10 roach and Rudd between half a pound and a pound with about 60 to 80 small
fish it was one of the best session I have had on the grand western canal in
years Colin had a few small fish and martin a few better Rudd but I didn't seem
to be able to do any thing wrong the fish had seemed to have shoaled up right in
front of me but I really enjoyed the days fishing and 5pm came so we decided it
was time to pack up and head off home so I will be fishing this area again in
the next few weeks so thanks for reading the blog please feel free to comment
