This venue has returned to great form recently on the taunton end which starts at firepool lock and runs around 7 miles to maunsel lock where it is under bridgwater aa fishing rights.
It has an average depth of 3-4 feet and unlike most canals is constantly flowing.
Lots of different methods work on this venue with chopped worm and caster being the favoured one due to the large perch, bream and tench.
Fished a match there on Sunday and the best perch went 1kg 600g and i had a bream and a perch mixed in with a few roach and rudd for 4kg 650g. The bream was around the 3kg mark and the perch 1kg.
I lost a couple of bigger fish that took off like there was no tomorrow, possibly big tench or even one of the few big carp that show up from time to time.
There are lots of places to launch and you will need a taunton aa day ticket.
If you are ever down this way get in touch and can give you a bit more info.
