River Fishing – Starts June 16th

June 12th, 2020 | By MAS_SG | Category: Chelmer & Blackwater Canal | Email This Post Email This Post | Print This Post Print This Post
River fishing will return on 16th June.
Members are reminded to observe social distancing at all times and that individual anglers should be 15 metres apart.
This will present more of a challenge on the Chelmer and Blackwater canal than on the river proper, as anglers will be close to the tow path and therefore closer to passers by.
Please try and ensure that your tackle does not impede walkers from observing social distancing and remember also to use gloves and/or antiseptic wipes.
The Environment Agency in conjunction with the canal company are planning to install fishing platforms which will help, but the timetable for this has been held up by the pandemic.
One has been installed and this work continues, however and you might like to know that it is funded from angling licence income.
If possible, in order to keep numbers manageable, please try and avoid using busy stretches of the canal in the first few days of the season.

Next Chelmer Canal Trust Work Party – Saturday morning, 13th April 2019

Hi

It’s Work Party time again! For next Saturday’s work party (13th April) we’ll be meeting at Hoe Mill Lock and we’re aiming to work upstream.

We’ll be starting off at 9am. For directions to Hoe Mill put CM9 6RA into your SatNav, smartphone etc. or click on this link for a map that will get you to the right vicinity: Hoe Mill Lock. Parking is available on site so there is no need to park on the road. If the gate is locked toot your horn!

All weedbusting and litter-clearing equipment is provided – but please bring any additional equipment that you find works well for you. And please wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the prevailing conditions. It could be muddy; it could be cold (or it might be lovely mild, dry, weather!) We’ll have some refreshments available too.

We hope to see you next Saturday.

Kind regards

Neil

Chelmer & Blackwater Close Season

May 29th, 2018 | By MAS PK | Category: Chelmer & Blackwater Canal, News, Rules, Water closures | Email This Post Email This Post | Print This Post Print This Post

Members of Maldon AS, Chelmsford AA, Kelvedon DAA, Colchester APS and day ticket anglers are reminded that our bailiffs and the Environment Agency will be enforcing the long standing three month close season between the 15th March and 15th June 2018 inclusive on the entire river/canal network.  This includes the whole of the Chelmer & Blackwater river and canal system including any offshoots, backwaters and the stretch below Beeleigh lock to Heybridge Basin.

16 of our stillwaters remain open during the river close season so MAS members who have joined for the 2018-19 season do not have to hang up their rods for 3 months.


The picturesque Ulting stretch of the Chelmer & Blackwater will be re-open for fishing, along with the other 14 miles, on Sat 16th June 2018.
