Lancaster/Lancashire

Just wondering who on here is in the Lancaster/Lancashire area.

I'm wondering about a visit to Stocks next season and would like to go with someone with reservoir and boat fishing experience, as I have none.

I have a bit of experience up there, though my catch returns left something to be desired last year
I live in Clitheroe though so am only 15mins away should you need a boat partner for a day. ;D

I've fished Stocks a few times, and I like the size of the water! Plenty of space to move around.

Didn't fish it last season but 1 or 2 visits are on the cards for next year.

Nick, you lucky devil living in Clitheroe, so close to the Ribble and Stocks

I used to keep my waders and 8' trout rod in the car, ready rigged and folded in half. I could leave work and be fishing in under ten minutes. It was a brilliant way to wind down after a stressful day, but unfortunately my other half and seven month old baby girl have put the stop on that one, as I don't think its fair to get home at dusk anymore!

Thanks guys, I will keep you in mind for next season.

I'm another person lucky enough to live in Lancashire & fish the local waters.

If you want big lake boat experience, why not come to the social meet at Blagdon in March 2006. You'll gain plenty of boat experience that will stand you in good stead for Stocks. See link below
