River Lune Trout

[coley]

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows how the Lune is fishing these days? I am thinking of taking up fly fishing and i live within walking distance of the Lancaster/Halton stretches. I have been a coarse fisherman for 21 years and fancy trying my hand and the "other code"

The stretch you mention is liable to produce the odd salmon and/or seatrout, as I am sure you know. Perhaps you should bear this in mind when choosing your fly gear - you might find yourself attached to a salmon !

 

Good luck with the fly fishing. A good way to learn is to take a day at a local still-water fly fishery - if possible with someone who will show you the basics.

 

If you are really serious and can spare the cash, a few lessons from a professional instructor is worthwhile. Expensive, but many would say good value for money if you intend to fish quite a lot.
