The Canal de Roubaix is a productive French waterway in Nord department where anglers can target Carp, Tench, Bream, Pike, and Perch in a relatively urban setting between Roubaix and Tourcoing. Night fishing is permitted, making it attractive for dedicated carp anglers, while the canal's calm waters and allowed bivouac facilities support extended fishing trips. A valid Carte de Pêche from the local AAPPMA is required to fish this stretch, which also welcomes recreational boating and provides good accessibility for both bank and boat-based anglers.
