About Ogden Reservoir
Ogden is a 60 acre reservoir in the Grane Valley, the upper part of the valley of the River Ogden west of Haslingden, in the West Pennine Moors of Rossendale. It is fished by Haslingden and District Fly Fishing Club, which calls it the premier fishery in the area. The club stocks it through the season with rainbow trout of 2¼ to 10lb, and the fly life includes buzzers, olives, sedges, hawthorn flies, daddy longlegs and mayflies.
Members have free use of the club’s rowing boats, a cabin where anglers check in and out and record their catches, and a private car park that the public does not use. The club has two full time bailiffs who cover all hours.
It is a members only water. Full membership is £170 a year plus a one off £85 joining fee, and the club’s website says to use its contact form to ask to join. Adult membership is capped at 200. The club does not publish day tickets.
