I've caught carp (about 1/2 a pound mind you...)out of the Gloucester/Sharpness canal as far down as slimbridge in the past I guess they do get all over....but mainly small silvers,bream,eels,ruffe & pike down the far end towards Sharpness couldn't say for the Gloucester end.

I spoke to a couple of locals when I was down there, apparently they are getting Carp in the high 20s past the pilot Inn

GerryT from this forum recommends the swims near the timber merchants, I believe they call the area the PIPE SWIMS

Good luck
