Ive not fished it for about 20 years, but what do you want to know?

 

Its quite slow and deep (10-12 feet) its day ticket and has chub, barbel, eels, a few carp, bream, roach, dace and 1 or 2 of every thing else. From what i can remember its only a short beat and it gets fished a lot.

Like i said Ive not fished it for 20years (probably 25) but double figure Barbel have come off just about every beat between Calder foot and the sea, So i should think it would be worth a go.

 

I'm a member of Ribchester (RADAC) who have a number of farms on the lower & mid Ribble and i spend most winters Barbelling there.

 

Balderstone is some what controversially in the hands of Clitheroe Anglers (stuck up game boys with money).

There's not a lot of day ticket but the village front at Ribchester is day ticket through RADAC, tickets from the spar there and is the easiest access I know of on the Ribble. Best for the barbel if you stay till after dark. best of luck and let me know how you get on. Brian
