'Tivvy' holds a very special place in my heart. For Tench fishing it was everything a traditional tench fisher wanted- very weedy (the canal is disused), shallow, gin clear and full of Tench - no monsters, but lots of them! No need for silly rigs and baits - a simple porcupine quill, fished 'lift' style under the rod tip with breadflake fished over liquidised bread was all you required. The sheer excitement of seeing huge patches of 'fizzing' all over the place was enough in itself. To catch a few was a bonus. In the winter, the canal was great for Pike fishing too. I fished it between 1996 and 1998 whilst living in Devon and have the odd session when visiting family in the West Country. I miss Tivvy for the Tench fishing.......
