Just a couple of months ago, you may have heard, an absolutely astounding Roach of 2-3-11 was caught by design, from the North Oxford Canal in Coventry, on the float.  Captor, George BurtonImage.

Some fish for a narrow canal ... and pushing that record !

Much groundwork has been done by Jeff Hatt after these fish.

Though I dream the dream, haven't got the patience to  have a go myself.

That 43 lb carp came from the Lime Kilns area of the Exeter Canal, - it was one of the original stock reputed to be 50 years old.

Several roach of over 2 lb have come out of the Coventry Canal at Nuneaton. I remember one of 2 lb 9 oz odd in a Warwickshire WL.

As for that 86 lb trout I'll knock 80 lb off it if you knock 8 oz off that perch Image Image

Perch of 4 lb 2 oz have come off the Shroppie at Norbury.
