With hundreds of miles of underfished water, canals represent a vast, untapped fishing resource. From shallow, secluded rural waters to giant urban ship channels, they offer a staggering diversity of angling potential which is open and affordable to all.

Britain's canals have never been in better shape, with a huge range of species to target. From classic roach fishing to specimen carp, pike and increasingly common surprises like chub and zander, this book covers everything from traditional to ultra-modern techniques.

This is more than just a 'how to' volume. With details of venues and notable fish records from every part of the UK, this book also represents an essential guide to Britain's canals. Whether you're planning a short break or looking for a fresh challenge on your local 'Cut', Dominic Garnett's book is packed with inspiring ideas, beautiful photography and invaluable information.
