On what sites to sell?

I know that stretch of the canal but preferred fishing near the Dog and Duck, two hundred yards further along the towpath. To be honest I didn’t do much fishing, but I was able to drink like one and I felt quite safe.

I mostly fished for eels, big specimens so a 2.5-3 lb rod is nice to have. It's best to catch them on early evening or dark. They are not exactly shy feeders and due to their powerful mouths they can bite through fine lines. The best baits are small dead baits or a bunch of lobworms or maggots on the bottom, often close in the margins or around weed beds. Small dead baits such as roach, rudd or gudgeon are a favorite and can be fished with a single large hook such as a size two or size four.

The Gloucester & Sharpness Canal produces many small eels to anglers so that's going to be my next destination.
