Fishing in the Preston/Garstang area

[Akimbo Rob]

hi all i've decided to go a bit further afield this weekend and have decided to head to the lancaster canal at preston, is there anyone on here who can tell me 2 things

 

1. a decent little area for course fishing for 2 people

 

2. which Angling club owns that section so i can ring them and organise 2 day tickets today prior to heading out tommorow

 

Hope someone can help me here as i've never fished the lancaster canal and would prefer a decent days fishing rather than sitting there watching an unmoving float all day

Cheers Rob

Use Google earth to find a basin and somewhere to park. Bit of raking and prebaiting helps. I have never seen a bailiff on the Lancy canal but you could take some cash to pay for day tickets just in case.

A bit North but there is a basin on Bells Bridge Lane at Ford Green. Look out for the Jumbo Jet on Google earth.
