Pike, Roach, Perch, Tench, Dace, Common Bream, Silver Bream and Ruffle can all be caught in the Union Canal.
Roach and Perch are the most common species throughout the canal, and can easily be caught using maggots, pinkies, worms or bread as hookbait. Great beginners' fishing experience.
Only fish from the towpath side of the canal. Stay at least 25 metres from any lock or swing bridge. 2 rods max or 3 for pike fishing.
