Fishing on The River’s Ribble & Calder

Day Tickets to fish the Environment Agency stretch of the Rivers Ribble & Calder can now be obtained exclusively from The Aspinall Arms. The Pub is on the banks of the River Ribble at the start of the beat.

The Mitton Beat is a mixed fishery on the River Ribble near Whalley & Clitheroe, and specific rules apply.

The beat is divided into three sections A, B and C. These sections are listed on the day permit and state the limits and methods that may be used within these areas. The 1.5-mile stretch features many fast runs and deep pools. As well as Salmon and Sea Trout the beat offers excellent Grayling and Brown Trout Fishing, along with good sport for Chub fishing in the winter months.

Many Dace and the occasional Barbel can be found to tempt the visiting coarse angler.

The Rivers Calder and Hodder, join the River Ribble in the Agency’s stretch creating superb holding areas for Salmon and Sea Trout.

Short Fishing Breaks – details below..

The whole beat is open for coarse fishing from the 1 November – 15 March. Between 16 June and 1 November coarse fishing is restricted to the River Calder area and section C that is illustrated on the Day permit. Fly-fishing for Grayling is permitted between 15 March and 1November.

All fishing on day permits is permitted from 8am to 8pm with the exception of night permits, which allows you to fish from 8pm to 8am for Migratory Salmon and Sea Trout. All regulations are fully listed on permits. All tickets can be purchased before fishing from The Aspinall Arms. Please ensure you have a valid Environment Agency rod licence if you are over 12 years of age.
