Aire & Calder Canal
(DTW)
The canal is generally around 30 metres wide, and has an average depth of 12 feet in the main boat channel, although this shallows to between 6-9ft nearer the bank. The main target species are roach and skimmers, with large bags (30lb +) possible on a good day.
Pocklington Canal
(DTW)
The Pocklington Canal is a relatively broad canal which runs for 9.5 miles through nine locks from the Canal Head near Pocklington, to the River Derwent which it joins near East Cottingwith. Tench and roach are the most common species and both run to a reasonable size. There are plenty of pike, mostly jacks though occasionally fish running well into double-figures are caught.
