The Royal Military canal is a Day Ticket water, apart from the members section from Lypmne Bridge to West Hythe Dam. Fishing permits are available on the bank from the Society Bailiffs.
Senior £5, Concessionary £2.50 and Juniors £1 for fishing from dawn until dusk.
The section between Seabrook and West Hythe is landed locked by a dam. We have an annual stocking programme on this stretch.
The Carp are up to 33lbs, Pike to 24lbs with plenty of Tench to 6lb, Bream to 6lb, Perch to 2lb 6oz and Roach of up to 2lb 4oz. There is also a big head of Skimmers, Rudd, Eels, Gudgeon and the odd Trout including a Brown Trout weighing in at 5lbs 3.5oz caught recently.
The 4 mile, West Hythe to Giggers Green stretch of the canal is much wilder and a more secluded section of the canal. This stretch is 8 to 10 feet deep but holds the same species of fish.
The Bomb Hole section of the canal at Giggers Green is well known as a Pike “Hot Spot” a 26lbs Pike has been caught recently. There is also a good head of Roach. The Tench are bigger than average due to the depth of water.
