St Helens Canal, affectionately known as The Hotties, stands as one of the oldest canals in the UK. Originally, canal boats navigated its waters, transporting coal, sugar, glass, and various goods to and from the town. The canal runs alongside the Pilkington Glass Factory, a key landmark in its history.
The unique feature of The Hotties is the warm water pumped from the Pilkington Glass Factory into the canal. This consistent warmth prevents the canal from freezing, making it an excellent spot for anglers to fish throughout the year, even in freezing weather conditions.
Anglers at St Helens Canal can expect to find a variety of coarse fish. The canal is home to Carp, Bream, Dace, Roach, Rudd, and Tench, providing diverse opportunities for fishing enthusiasts to enjoy their pastime.
