Not many visitors to Amsterdam are aware that behind the many admittedly narrow canal houses there is usually a luscious green space. Sometimes the private gardens are so big that there is actually another house in the back! As most houses are physically connected to one another, the private gardens usually combine to form a large green space behind each row of canal houses that is not visible from the street. To those... read more »
I went fishing for a few hours today on the canal at Swingbridge Road. The fishing was terrible, caught one very small chub on maggot - but the boat traffic was unbelievable. As I was fishing by the reeds, I spotted a large fish in the reeds, wiggling around but not moving anywhere. I assumed it was a spawning fish so left it alone for a few minutes, but it had not moved ten minutes later. I had found loads of loose thick monofilament line all over the floor around the area - picking them up to take ho... read more »

The other day, a tweet showed up on my Twitter feed. It was from an acquaintance of mine, a fellow American and expat in the Netherlands. The Tweet contained a quote - from whom, she didn't say. And it went a little something like this: "I thought only Amsterdam had canals." While this is far from true (the Netherlands is crawling with them), the Amsterdam canals are the best known outside of the... read more »
It has been many many years since I nearly cried because of a fish. The last time was losing my first ever big carp at Sherwood Forest Center Parcs. Today I felt exactly the same, unfortunately I don't have any evidence for this story so its up to you whether you believe it. This morning was beautiful weather, due to get worse the next few days so I thought I'd give my awesome Husky Jerk Rapala lure another go on the canal, see post below for pic and details. Anyway, I wasn't getting any action in my u... read more »
With the first warm weather for a few weeks, I thought I'd take a few lures along to the canal to see if I could catch a large perch that I have been wantingfor a while. There are definitely large specimen perch in the canal and river Soar around Loughborough; I have seen one being caught before. The lure I decided to use was a little rubber waggly thing (I really don't know that much about lures yet), and from a range of wonderful colours I went for a silver one, as common sense tells me that a fish w... read more »

...Because if you're not lucky enough to have experienced the pure unadulterated magic of Amsterdam's largest canalfronts then let's face it, you're missing out! If this is indeed the case, then you are in luck mainly due to the magic of modern-day photography, but also because of some of the world's most ridiculously talented and committed photographers. You see, in a city like Amsterdam a picture of regular size and framing, no matter... read more »

La Prensa de hoy, anuncia que el MIVI va a presentar nuevas reglamentaciones de zonificacion para las areas canaleras. El Canal fue planificado y funciona como lo hace, eficiente y continuamente, porque la capa boscosa y la hidrografia del area es aprovechada para mover los barcos y darle poder a esclusas, la alteracion de este ecosistema artificial pone en peligro no solo la operacion sino el abastecimiento de agua de todos. Los americanos no permitian estas invasiones por esta razon y por supuesto,... read more »
