I know which gap you mean daveb, back of the trading estate off barton dock road? sounds like it mate,not sure of the name of the road? but down to the bottom and some one has even cut steps up the banking,not fished there for a bit but used to be a fantastic stretch

It was nice to meet you all in the flesh.pity the fishing was so hard,what was that about 0.13!!!! i nearly made up some 0.8 bottoms the night before,i wish i had now. Long time since i fished a canal except for pike qualifiers,thats a nice stretch of cut. couple of pics terry thinking of diving in to catch a few fish after all else failed terrys rocket launcher for his groundbait look everybody a fish the cut at barton dock,think we used to fish the same stretch,waters meeting down by trafford anglers used to be alright as well but is that car park still dodgy as me and tel used to run pike qualifiers down there until it got to the stage where we had to have somebody watching the cars all the time.

That's why i think we should ish the ashton canal up around snipe. There's less trouble (though probably more walkers and cyclists), and it's relatively easy to get to (just the other side of manchester though), and i've fished it (went earlier today with girlfriend; going tomorow), so i can win

arkwright,good pics mate,the stretch im thinking of is well before waters meet,if your driving down barton dock rd towards kelloggs,you turn left just before the flyover (where kratos used to be?) and your car is nicely tucked away behind some units ;D
