About the River Calder (Ribble)
The River Calder is a tributary of the Ribble, around 20 miles long, and it is not the West Yorkshire river of the same name, although the two rise very close together at Cliviger. It runs north west through the Cliviger Gorge and Burnley, then on through Padiham and Whalley to meet the Ribble near Brockhall Village. Pendle Water joins it on the edge of Burnley, Sabden Brook joins near Martholme, and the Hodder reaches the Ribble less than a mile away.
It is a mixed river. Clubs on it report brown trout and grayling among the coarse fish such as chub and roach.
The fishing is held by clubs, mostly for members, around Burnley, Padiham, Altham and Whalley. The Ribble Rivers Trust Angling Passport sells a day ticket at Mitton, where the Calder, the Hodder and the Ribble meet.
