About River Ribble, Grindleton, Clitheroe Anglers Association water
This is Clitheroe Anglers Association’s water on the River Ribble at Grindleton: almost four miles of mostly double bank fishing. The association does not publish where the stretch starts and ends, so the position shown is approximate.
The fishing is strictly fly only whatever the water height, and the association says it fishes well in most places when the river reads between 6 and 30 inches on the gauge at Grindleton bridge. There are some brown trout and a decent head of grayling, but most members concentrate on salmon and sea trout. Its pages say salmon over 20 lb have been returned and double figure sea trout have been taken after dark in the past.
The water is for members. The association has about 50 members and a waiting list, and the association’s membership page says how to apply.
