Wild Winter Tench Fishing with Worm on my Local Canal Float Fishing Lift Method

Not very often do I get the chance to fish this stretch of the Local Canal due to the amount of weed growth through the summer months. So while it is winter, cold, damp and 95% clear of weed, I decided to use a light float fishing setup using the Lift Method for the indication with my Mitchell Tanager Camo Telescopic Fishing Rod.
A short float weighted down just under the surface with a size 16 barbless match hook with worm as my hookbait of choice for todays session.
It sure was tough seeing those dormant fish surrounding the bait eagerly waiting to see the red float tip rise above the surface of the water. But it happened, 3 times thankfully. Furthermore, this is the first time I have been fishing since the end of November/Early December.
Thank you for stopping by and hopefully ill catch you again on the next one!

Good angling, nice to see there's still nice tench in there, used to bag up in the eighty's and ninetys on chopped worm bashed up corn and hemp right on that corner 🙂

Thanks mate! It was great years ago. Late 90s I think I started fishing it. Was curious as to what is still in there. May pop back in a couple of months if I can get through the surface to fish on the bottom 🙏 thanks for watching too appreciate it
