Just wondering what canals are available for good pike fishing? I for think I've ever fished a canal before. I don't fancy city centre locations.
I've been looking at various clubs, Leeds, Bradford City aa, Bradford no.1, York etc. and they all have bits of canals, not sure which would be best.
Any ideas would be welcome!

Saltaire have a cracking stretch at Shipley... Last season the club sec got his fish finder out and its a beast of a fish finder and shows all fish over 4lb, and he found 47 pike within a 500 yard stretch.. He also recorded all the fish caught as people messaged him when they caught to tell him and 50% of the pike were doubles..
Biggest fish this season is 18.09lb and the biggest last season was 18.06lb.. The 18s were both caught by the club sec and different fish.. When we were there other day he said there's not as many there this year yet, but the pike match other week the winner managed 5 pike and the second place managed 1?
And u can park less than 10 steps away from ya peg lol.. It's very Peggy down there but fishing near the first 3 lots of boats won't see u wrong as the bait fish are there due to the first couple of boats being lived in
Selby canal opposite the fire station is meant to be bang on, ripon canal I've heard is good and especially the marina

Not that bad down there tbh, yeah ano it will put him off but when rivers are screwed and you wanna catch some times u have to sacrifice luxurys Can only really comment on places I've been though? Selby is a quiet canal.. I've fished another canal but just can't bloody think where it was.. Very quiet place, we fished a drain down there but was way to windy so we moved to a canal

Aye quiet canal please!!
Cheers for the info ronny. I don't mind the odd canal boat and empty factory warehouse, but I don't like too many people bothering me or even watching me! Like out of the way places, but yeah the idea is to pike fish when rivers are goosed

Ripon canal is probs the most excluded place round here, I believe some is day ticket, just a balls on having to go to tackle shop before u go fishing, not to bad if u go with someone cause u can go early and then one go to tackle shop once its open and other can stay with the gear
