Fishing

Fishing on the Basingstoke Canal is managed by Basingstoke Canal Angling Association.

Membership to the BCAA is available to Individuals as well as club members with Angling Permits being available from designated outlets including the Canal Centre and are also available through our Bailiffs on the bank who also sell Day and Monthly Tickets to occasional anglers trying the canal out for the first time. 

Recently, the canal has become more renowned for its specimen carp up to 40lb that live in there, with ‘bivvyed up’ anglers often frequenting Claycart, Eelmore & Great Bottom Flashes.  These carp are the last remnants of the very original stockings back in the 1980’s.

Further information on membership prices, ticket outlets and other good stuff can be found on their website www.bcaafish.uk.
