RIVERS & CANALS GRAND UNION CANAL, HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, HERTS

The Durrants Hill Road stretch is worth a visit for a net of silvers. Lots of roach and perch can be caught on breadpunch or pinkies and squatts. Feed a small ball of groundbait after every five fish to hold the silvers in your peg. Contact: Oakwood Angling, 02088 826821 Prices: £5 on the bank, London AA
