You’re right about the grayling there , I was shown some photos of some good ones from there when I was a member of Ryburn and Halifax . It was actually the Lancashire Calder that goes into the ribble I meant , it’s full of grayling and 2lb+ fish are not uncommon when I’m fishing the stickfloat . Thats the book i fish on had some cracking grayling 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s actually 2 Calder’s in Lancashire but the one everyone knows runs in to the ribble round Brockholes/billington and you can get day tickets for the ribble trust stretch of the ribble and up into the Calder at Calder foot . Upstream of there is all on club books but you can get day tickets for Pendle and Burnley’s stretches at altham and behind cornfields fishery / gawthorpe hall at Burnley and behind the bowling greens in Padhiam , think they’re about £6 . There’s also a free stretch in Padhiam but don’t know how long the stretch is . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
