The Grand Union Canal is in good form with plenty of carp, bream, roach and perch being caught on almost every section. Sadly anglers are still putting specimen fish in small keepnets and even a carp was found in a keepnet today whilst I was out on patrol along with anglers who had no landing net with them!
