The charity making life better by water

2. Plumbing the depth

The second part of our fishing series looks at plumbing the depth, which means finding out how deep the canal is.

Things to remember

  • We fish on the bottom of the canal because, more often than not, this is where the fish live.

  • Stay safe. It's safer to fish as part of a group, and children must always have the permission of a parent or guardian.

  • Before you go fishing you need a rod licence if you are 12 years of age or older. You also need permission from the fishery owner/angling club.
