Market Weighton Canal fishing evidence · Yorkshire
What fish are in the Market Weighton Canal?
Monitoring has recorded 17 species across 10 surveyed sites on this water, between 2004 and 2025. These are survey records with dates. They do not establish what is present today, that the water is fishable, or that you have permission to fish it.
River evidence passport
Four signals, kept deliberately separate.
The passport shows identity, survey breadth, evidence freshness and trip constraints without turning unlike facts into an opaque “best river” score.
10 sites · 14 events
17 positive taxa aggregates are shown. More survey coverage is not a fishing-quality verdict.
