it was off to the canal and map in hand to help find the section 
almost spot on bill 
as we pulled up and got the gear out then walked 400yards to the canal before the pegs started ::) ::)the first site of the canal was dodge sitting on a right fly-er 
probably the best roach peg on the canal and matters got worse when i looked above dodge to see lloydy on the next peg all you could hear was mars bar talk "should we have a multi pack on this one" lloydy said to dodge 
as i was on the bridge i asked about my peg you could get 5lb but you won't win a penny with that was the answer but i must admit it looked good to me but perry one of the locals had drawn a boat in fact the only boat our side of the canal and pete marlow had drawn the end peg ::) ::)another end pegstill i new i was in for a good day i had alan round next to me and he's forgot more about fishing canal than i'l ever know
as it happened the canal roach seamed to be hard to catch either spawning or cleaning themselves off they just didn't want to feed i weighed 2lb 11oz of roach for second in the five peg sections and had to catch at 16mtrs :-[not done that for a long time. anyway perry with 3 mins left had a 4lb chub to take the section along with some bits 
but on the bright side i'd won a mars bar off alan and stef either side of me 
well stef really didn't know what we were on about 
as i walked back to the bridge where dodge and lloydy had fought it out the news had already come down the tow path 
that dodge had beat lloydy and lloydy was now smashing the stingers down with his top three's it all came out back at the sailing club and dodge was proud as punch as he lifted the mars bar up in the air
