About the River Bottoms Beck
Bottoms Beck runs through Gisburn Forest, in the Forest of Bowland. It comes in from the north east and runs into Stocks Reservoir under the causeway, and is the other major feeder of the reservoir besides the River Hodder. The Hodder runs through the reservoir from north to south, so the beck is counted here as a Hodder tributary.
The Ribble Rivers Trust describes it as a tranquil forest beck with pools and wild brown trout.
The Ribble Rivers Trust Angling Passport has a beat of about two miles on the beck, above Stocks Reservoir, with trout only and fly only fishing. Passport beats are catch and release. Other stretches are held by their riverside owners.
Check the details for the stretch you plan to fish.
