The stick ups by Boots bridge

Beeston used to be the "in" place to go but now

Pete, been a long time since I fished next to you on sensas match on cov cut,hope u keeping well and still catching! But on your last comment what's the Beeston fishing like now and where would be the best place to go? It's been few years since I fished national on it.

Cheers Ian baker

After the demise of the Trent winter league it is a venue that sees very little match action.

They have run matches over the Christmas period on the low numbers and these have been feast or famine jobbies.

Talking of national practices on there when i was with Dams and Locks i managed to catch a pork pie with legs

Vicious little thing

JJ ran a match 2 years ago and 22lb won it with 19lb 2nd in September at the back of the Cinema.............but only 6 of us were there

again another venue gone!! loved it there just missed out on the semi final tied for 3rd fished well as well that day after all the pressure paul jarram won one practice match with 20 odd pound
the less we leave canals alone the more hassel you'l get when you return its the same on the loughborough after two or three matches joe public get fedup with walking ,biking and running down the towpath

i know its an oldish foto, but what was he landing? or is it a canal full of carp?

The Beeston Canal goes into the Trent and use to tow alot. Rob was using a small flat float as well as a round bodied to hold back. The stick ups held tench, carp, chub, roach but the main quarry was skimmers and on the right day loads of them.
Could be a cracking canal on its day, never seem to go there now !
