Re: Latest Fisheries Work Plan - dated 03rd November 2022

Afternoon all!
Just wondering are there any plans going forward regarding Chalton and Chropthorne. I would love to see this stretch fishable again.

Re: Fazeley Canal what is being caught - can the C&RT conduct a Fish Survey?

Sorry lads only just revisited this post. Walsall & District own 4 miles of canal from Handsacre,Armitage down towards Fradley junction on the Trent and Mersey canal not far from Litchfield.

The club were informed by the CRT that it would be electro fishing our canal to gauge the spread of zander up from the Fradley junction. From what I remember they only removed 2 zander from the 4 miles of canal and concluded the zander had not spread above the junction in any numbers.

Our club secretary requested the report which was happily made available and made for an interesting read. I wish I could have walked the stretch on the days they were there but I couldn't get the time off work.

As one last cast says fish swim and move depending on the time of year and conditions.

Walsall And District A.S WICK 16/10/2022

A lovely day to be on the river bank!
The match was very odd with certain pegs fishing well while others struggled for a bite.
The contest itself turned into a fish for fish battle between club members Daz and Dean with only ounces separating them.

1st Daz Cox 15-14-0

2nd Dean Chapman 15-6-0

3rd David Harley 8-3-0

4th Alan Price 6-8-8

Re: Fazeley Canal what is being caught - can the C&RT conduct a Fish Survey?

The canal and river trust electro fished our canal last year. From what I have seen its had no detrimental effect on our water.

What it has shown from reading the report is we have some large shoals of Chub in certain areas we did not know about. It also showed us certain sections of the 4 miles of canal have very few fish, while other areas for whatever reason are black with fish.

You can see from the big matches being fished on the canals some areas throw up massive weights of fish while other sections are struggling for ounces.
