Venue & tackle
The Charlton Orchard stretch of the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal is a prime location for junior and beginner anglers looking to develop their skills in a peaceful, well-stocked setting. This section is ideal for both pleasure and match fishing and is a favourite among local clubs and Let's Fish! events.
- Whip Fishing: A 4–6 metre whip is perfect for close-in fishing, especially for cadets and newcomers. Use a light elastic or flick tip for quick bites and minimal fuss.
- Pole Fishing Across: For more experienced anglers, a long pole (11–13m) can help you reach the far shelf or cover areas. Use a soft hollow elastic setup for better fish control.
- Pinkies & Maggots: Ideal for small roach, perch, and gudgeon. Great for feeding up your swim slowly and consistently.
- Bread Punch: Classic winter bait for roach. Best used on a fine hook and light rig when bites are finicky.
- Chopped Worm & Caster: Excellent for tempting better stamp fish like perch or skimmers when fishing tight to far bank features or drop-offs.
Bonus Tips
- Feed lightly and top up your swim regularly to keep fish in the area.
- Fish tight to reeds or near any visible structure for bigger bites.
- Always bring a disgorger, plummet, and bait towel — essentials for canal sessions.
