Anyone thinking of fishing the B'ham / Worcs. canal at Shernal Green [Bridge 31]. If you approach from the Droitwich / Feckenham road and turn at the Himbleton - Crowe junction, signs say road closed. However, you can still get to the Shernal turn, { at least you could today }. I did a U-turn and a detour only to find on my way home I could have gone straight there. Why the hell could they not have had a sign saying access to Shernal open.
Also if you access the canal from bridge 31 and turn right along the towpath there are extensive works to the bank which is cordoned off, and will be for a time buy the look of it, I think probably to bridge 32, its a fair walk to find a peg if you turn left as well due to extensive reed growth, but that's what I did and had a few fish in the end. Hope this helps anyone thinking of going soon

Hi ferret, your post seems to echo mine of a couple of weeks ago except I was getting tiny perch nearly all day, hardly ever saw a perch at one time. The catch has changed there I'm sure.
Maybe something to do with when the BAA took fish from a pool near B'ham airport a couple of years ago and put in there but they never said what to my knowledge, apart from a couple of barbel and the odd tench. It's not the place it was when they bought the place that's for sure, used to go a couple of times a week but rarely go now even though it's not far away. A shame because it's not a bad lake.
