		The canal as built was 3 furlongs from the Trent to Swarkestone, with four locks, thence to Derby 5 miles 2 1/2 furlongs, with two locks.
		All these Derbyshire canals together provided carriage by water from the collieries, ironstone mines, iron works, brickyards and quarries of the Derwent and Erewash valleys to Nottingham and Derby, and onwards to the Trent for connection south to Birmingham or west to Grantham.
		Today the canal has disappeared, long since drained and filled, and although its route now forms the roadbed for a highway, I still remember the water, the reeds, the barges, the boatmen and the horses who plied their leisurely trade along the towpaths.

	Derby and Sandiace Canal Society - History
		Before the onset of the Canal Mania of the 1790s, the factories of Derby relied on inadequate highways and the archaic Derwent Navigation for the transport of goods, but the river's shortcomings were frequently exposed by floods and droughts.
		The Derby to Sandiacre branch was just over nine miles in length from White Bear lock, which lifted the canal from the Long Bridge weir pound to the same level as that of the summit level of the Swarkestone line.
		The canal was designed as a broad navigation throughout; the channel was excavated 44 ft wide at the top, reducing to 24 ft at the bottom, the depth being 5 ft, except for the 1.3/4 miles long summit pound of the Little Eaton branch, which was 6 ft deep to act as a reservoir.

	Derby Canal (Site not responding. Last check: )

	Hood Canal Chinook
		This year, 2007 may be a bright spot for the Hood Canal fishery in that WDFW estimates that there will be a considerable increase in numbers of returning Chinook.
		Lower Hood Canal salmon fishery opens July 1, but the fish are usually not there yet, so fishing will usually start about August 1, but not get into full swing until about the middle of the month.
		As these fish being in the lower dissolved Oxygen layer, are slowed down and you then will need to present the lure in a slow enough fashion so that if it is close enough to them, that they have enough time to consider taking the lure.
