Kennet and Avon Canal
My lure fishing on the Kennet and Avon Canal covers Wiltshire and Berkshire, fishing from Semington in the West to Newbury in the East, with my local stretch being the area around Hungerford. The key ticketed sections I fish from East to West are Hungerford Canal Angling Association, Reading & District Angling Association (Froxfield), Marlborough & District Angling Association and Devizes Angling Association. It’s a beautiful stretch of canal with great views and some spectacular Perch fishing at times. I hope you enjoy the following articles on lure fishing the K&A canal.

Perch Session with Hart Curly
With a mild autumn there’s still lots of boat activity on the canal leading to poor water clarity. I’ve done well with dark coloured creature baits, including a great little session on the Hart Curly, seen here.
