NEW JUNCTION CANAL, BARNBY DUN, S YORKSHIRE

One of the finest natural venues in the country, the canal is in fantastic form for both small and large fish. What’s been out? Everything from big old bream to large nets of roach and pommies are being caught at this remote venue, where you have a vast stretch of water to go at. Tactics to use: On a canal around 30m wide you can catch well on the feeder to the far bank. Alternatively, pole fish 14m out with chopped worm and caster for quality bream. For smaller fish, find the deeper water around 7m out and fish pinkie, maggot and caster over groundbait. Contact: Stainforth Angling Centre, 01302 846623
