Fishing along the Trent & Mersey Canal
High quality angling can be found on the Trent & Mersey Canal to suit both serious match and pleasure anglers. Roach, gudgeon and perch feed freely, and on a fine summer's evening you can catch carp and bream.
About seven miles of the Trent & Mersey canal are part of the Fenton & District Angling Society from the industrial centre of Stoke-on-Trent to the rural outskirts of Barlaston at Meaton. This water is easily accessible for all and provides excellent match weight and a wide variety of fish. Specific events are organised for children during the school holidays.
The canal provides excellent fishing with roach, perch, tench and carp to be caught. Stretches are licensed to various angling clubs and associations. Day passes are usually available from wardens.
