Perch, Roach and Bream on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal 

I nipped down to the canal this weekend for a relaxing spot of vintage float fishing. I had designed a few new self-cocking quills and wants to see how they would fish. 

Using my old Allcocks Aerialite centrepin and cane rod I was not disappointed. 

I landed 22 fish and lost many too. 

Most fish caught were roach and perch with just one small bream.

My  new self-cockers worked a treat, with old-fishing bread being the best bait....
