ULVERSTON CANAL

Tickets: Obtained on bank.

Directions: Off the A590 Crooklands to Barrow-in-Furness road on outskirts of Ulverston when entering the town from M6 direction. Turn down by the side of the Canal Tavern. The track runs beside the canal for its length of 1 mile until the Bay Horse Inn at the bottom end.

Species include Pike, Tench, Roach, Carp, Bream, Chub, Perch and Rudd. The water is open all year and tickets are available on the bank.

Average width is about 18 metres and this is a deep canal with depths averaging 8'. The canal is pegged out for convenience as it is often used for matches. Maggots, casters, bread, worm, sweetcorn, hemp, boilies, pellets and meats also work well along with pellets and float, pole or ledger tactics will all work. Tench and Carp run big here so suitable equipment needs to be used and if you fish fine you will lose excellent fish.
