Pocklington Canal
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2016 1:16 pm
Now here's an interesting one- unlike nearly every other Yorkshire canal , this one starts on the age of the Wolds. And that means it isn't Pennine peaty but chalk stream clear. Checked it out the other day and it looks extraordinary -it flows through empty East Riding flatlands and very natural in appearance .Not sure if there is any boat traffic but somehow doubt it .Just impossibly clear - which is a mixed blessing as whilst I can see fish they cane see me and obviously light intensity will be critical when it comes to my target perch . Saw literally thousands (I'd say 3-4 k ) of fingerling roach under a road bridge, a pike of about 6lb and some otter spraint.
Anybody fished there ? There's ten miles on a day ticket and I will be exploring in the next week or so . Intrigued....
