RUFFORD CANAL, BURSCOUGH, LANCS

There are plenty of roach and skimmers being caught on bread punch here. The water temperature is still very cold so fish down the track in the deepest water for the best results. Once you’ve got the fish in your swim it’s possible to catch double-figure weights. Contact: Burscough Angling, 01704 896252 Price: £28 a year, Wigan DAA
