went for a walk down the canal on sunday and saw a few people fishing it when asked they all said the same thing that it doesnt belong to a club anymore so they are getting some free fishing in none of them new if a closed season was enforced or not also i have checked british waterways web site for information on the stretch of canal involved (trent and mersey from colwich lock to wolsely bridge) again with no mention, would anyone else fish there or do you think its best not to?
