Dan and I had the pleasure of fishing with Andy Ford today, on my local stretch of the Kennet and Avon. You may know Andy as the enthusiastic, roving reporter from ‘Tight Lines’ on Sky Sports. Even if you don’t subscribe to Sky you can still watch Andy’s excellent features online. They cover literally all facets and disciplines of our sport – yes, even LRF! In fact, Andy has just launched a new website where he plans to catalogue all the excellent footage he has captured over the years.

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.
