The Tring Anglers hold the rights to the Aylesbury Arm from its junction
with the main canal at Marsworth to Red House Bridge at Aston Clinton. The
Arm is a good mixed fishery considered by many to be our finest canal
water. Gudgeon, roach, rudd, bream, perch and carp can be found
throughout, and in some pounds tench and chub are present.
The Aylesbury arm is considered by many of our members to be our finest
canal water, There are many access points and parking places close by
along its complete length, Disabled anglers pegs are available at some
points, Wilstone has specially constructed pegs and parking for use by
disabled anglers (by use of RADAR key) close to the bank, The Tring
anglers hold the rights to fish from The red house bridge at college road
Aston Clinton to the junction with the main grand union canal at
Marsworth. A selective and constant restocking policy has been made this
is an excellent mixed fishery, the clubs desire to keep this as an
excellent mixed venue ensures that timely restocking will continue, many
high profile matches have been held at this venue including Fishomania on
two consecutive years, a knockout round for The embassy pairs, and Drennon
league matches on several occasions.
Red House to Buckland
A walk along the tow path gives some fine panoramic views of the
surrounding countryside, with the Chiltern Hills in the distance, couple
this with the fishing available and you can see why some members fish at
this section as often as possible, Quality fish of all species can be
taken from this stretch, many modern Carp tactics work here with some
large fish having been captured, Pleasure fisherman can find Roach,
Skimmer bream and Perch willing to come to the net and there is always a
chance of connecting with one of the larger Chub, Tench, Bream or Carp,
Most types of bait have their day and the bailiff will always tell you
where the hotspots are.
Directions
Take the A41 duel carriageway from the roundabout between Aston Clinton
and Aylesbury, come of at the 1st exit (signposted College road north) and
follow this until you come to the canal bridge, Park before the bridge
only as there is no room on the other side. AS YOU APPROACH THE BRIDGE
TRING WATERS ARE TO THE RIGHT ONLY!
Buckland to Puttenham
In recent years large common Bream have been found in the early pegs at
Buckland, and to the right of the bridge as you walk onto the towpath
Roach and Tench are present, The boat channel holds some of the larger
fish but the inside line is always worth considering. Many double figure
Carp are present along this stretch with some good Chub in residence, even
cold weather does not deter the fish, The small pond just off the towpath
about halfway between the bridges is part of our water it contains Rudd,
Tench and Carp. Nearer to Puttenham the boats always tend to be the
hotspots.
Directions
Follow the old A41 towards Aston Clinton until you come to a roundabout
with the rising sun pub on your right, turn right and continue until you
come to a small crossroads, at this turn left until you come to Buckland
Village, Go through this slowly please and follow the road beyond the
bypass until you come to the canal bridge. DO NOT PARK ON THE LEFT HAND
SIDE OF THE ROAD AS YOU APPROACH THE BRIDGE OR ANYWHERE BEYOND THE BRIDGE,
and please be aware that large vehicles use this road
Puttenham to Wilstone
This is a very long stretch with only two access points at each end of the
section However for those not afraid of a walk into the countryside the
rewards can be tremendous, Carp into the twenties have been captured from
this length of the canal and many backup fish of over 10lb are not
uncommon, Large Chub Bream, Perch and Roach have also been captured here,
Rudd can also be found although not in as great numbers Some of this
length is featureless but do not be deterred the fish are there.
Directions
Follow the old A41 towards Aston Clinton until you come to a roundabout
with the Rising Sun pub on your right, Turn right, continue to the second
crossroads and turn left towards Puttenham. Follow this road for about a
mile, on approaching the canal there is some parking on the left.

Dixons Gap to Marsworth
These pounds are both underrated and under fished with many species
resident Chub of up to 4lb (and still growing) along with a good head of
Carp some well into double figures. Tench up to 7lb are present too; Roach
and Skimmer Bream will make a good day’s sport with caster sometimes
Producing excellent specimens. Car parking at the Marsworth end can be
difficult but do not be put of as these pounds often produce some exiting
sport, Sweetcorn, Carp pellets, Worm, Bread, Caster and maggot all work
well as well as luncheon meat, However be warned some of our more
experienced members Have broken more than one section of their pole at
this venue! Evening sessions in warmer months can be very rewarding.
