If You live in East Yorkshire and are looking for a canal venue for roach, look no further than the Aire and Calder Canal at Pollington East Yorkshire. High double - figure nets are regularly taken for pleasure anglers, including some increasingly large specimens.

Local match man and Pollington resident Trevor Banks lives close to the venue and reveals the hotspots to be opposite the moored boats from Pegs 405 to 420. Pegs 411 to 415 are especially fruitful. "These boats definitely bring the fish in," says Trevor.

The stretch is busiest during weekends, as you'll avoid the immense barges that run up and down during the week and spoil the fishing.

Pole and feeder are the top methods on this venue, which has depths of 9ft or so at seven meters out and responds well to a positive ground bait assault. Kick start your swim with four large 'jaffa'-sized balls, holding casters, hemp and pinkie, at a distance you can comfortably fish, about seven meters.

A good mix for pole fishing the venue is a 50/50 blend of Van Den Eynde World Champion and Superoach Black.

Species: Roach, skimmers, eels, bream, chub, perch and gudgeon. Best baits: Pinkies, squalls, maggots.
