Approximately 3 miles from Enson to Weston with deep sweeping bends, long pools, and strong chub and barbel fishing.

Back to waters

The stretch runs alongside the Trent & Mersey Canal for roughly 3 miles from Enson to Weston and is accessible from the canal and other marked points.

It features deep bends and long pools with high banks and vigorous summer vegetation. Chub up to 6lb and barbel up to 10lb are present, with trout and grayling also in the faster runs.

A long landing net handle (3-4m) is vital and care is needed at some swims.
