Day Ticket
A 1000yd long stretch of the Staffs Worcester canal, the section runs from Gothersley Lock to Prestwood Bridge. As well as gudgeon the stretch also contains a lot of skimmer bream, roach, perch and pike. Pole tactics allow the angler to present baits close to far margin features and this certainly the way to approach this venue. Shorter poles and rods allow the angler to fish the boat channel giving a good second line of attack. There is limited parking in roadside lay-bys at both end of the stretch. Day tickets cost £3 and available on the bank or in advance from the secretary or assistant secretary, payment is by Paypal only.
