The River Lark canal section is a 2.9km stretch that offers fishing opportunities for roach, trout, and eel, though anglers should be aware of current water quality challenges. The canal's confined environment can make for interesting tactical fishing, but poor conditions may affect fish activity and catch rates. This water requires careful approach and technique given its present ecological status.
