Known to those of us that regularly used to fish here in the 1980s as the Oak Tree length, this piece of canal would produce good nets of small roach and bream ('skimmers'), with a good chance of dropping on a decent shoal of bigger bream on occasions. It still looks much the same, but whether it still fishes as well is open to question. Oh, and the eponymous oak seems to have gone (or been replaced by the alder on the far bank)
