Newport Canal

This is one of the favoured venues for Club members, offering canal fishing without the boats! The venue is well stocked with plenty of spieces of fish including Chub, Carp, Bream, Tench,Crucians to name but a few.

The Venue has plenty of good pegs along the footpath, with 3 disabled / OAP pegs (Car Park side), many good bags of fish are taken along the length and it's used reguarlary for Club matches and the annual MacMillian Cancer charity match is hosted in July (Pairs).

The club also have a gentlemans agreement in place with Honeysuckle AC, which allows each others members to fish Newport town stretches. Audco members can fish the honeyscukle section with an Audco club card.
