Anyone ever fished either of the above?
I took a visit with friends earlier today and saw shoals of nice bream and loads of roach, and a couple of carp on the canal. The water was clear to a depth of over 3 feetbut the fish were feeding on the surface or less than a foot below. It was grat to watch. The river looked really nice with enough flow to encourage the use of the 'pin and I understand that it's free fishing according to the owner of one of the Liverpool tackle shops. I saw a reasonable sized chub and a few roach. If the information is correct, I feel a trip or 3 coming on! -------------------- My pancakes were burnt - they're thin and black....will Bono sing to them?

I've not fished the 'dirty duggie' at Rufford but further upstream at Gathurst it used to be great fun, a chub every chuck, no great size though.
It runs fairly adjacent to the canal for some miles. I never bothered much with the canal. Gathurst is on the Wigan anglers card, I thought the canal near Rufford was too, shared with Burscough or something, but I'm not too sure. Prince Albert also have a stretch of the duggie at Newburgh. There are some very pretty swims but like most small rivers it can be quickly up after rain and coffee coloured. -------------------- Our perception of time as an orderly sequence of regular ticks and tocks has no relevance here in the alternative dimension that is fishing.......

Thanks. I have to say that it was a really relaxing trip and the fishing potential was there - no great size, but plenty of fun to be had.
