moder

pike, perch, roach, rudd, bream, condoms, poly bags, bicycles, weils disease

haha thanks but what lures and permits do i need?

no permit on public waterways, england may be different, you might need a rod licence, may be two actually if your fishing fly and bait too, you really need an english forumer on this.

the waterways do issue permits (free) for cycling,fishing,boating.

are there still english forum members? perhaps they are in shock that someone wants to fish in england..

haha going there for a holiday Non fishing and thought i might aswel try it

You need a rod license.

You will also need a permit of some description I would have thought. Most canal stretches are let to angling clubs who will sell day tickets. Either post more specifically where you intend to fish, or the general are and I am sure someone can in the former case tell you where to get a day ticket, or in the latter put you on to a local tackle shop who can tell you.

It is also worth checking depending on when you are going if the sections in question observer the close season or not.

Silent along the mazy margin stray,
And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey

here is the route
