Hi lads ive been fishing the ribble for the last 5 years and ive had my fair share of barbel but is there a lot of barbel in the ribble and is the ribble better than any local river does the ribble ever get stocked.

Hi iley there are quite a few barbel in the ribble were i go in the ribchester area, as for stocking i think the river was stocked about 10 years ago in the same area, i'm only going by what i've heared so i could be wrong.If you need more information maybe the barbel society website could help....paul.

Hi, Can you tell me where I can fish the Ribble at Ribchester and is it a day ticket water?

Cheers

Hi iley, you can buy a day ticket at the post office in ribchester and you can fish all along the river were it flows through the village,i think you can go a mile downstream as well..hope this helps paul.

Does any one know of other day ticket stretches on the Ribble ? had a walk yesterday in the freezing rain along the Elston stretch and although it looked easily accessible i know it belongs to 2 clubs with no day tickets .
Thanks

There is another stretch at tickle trout island just of the m6, buy the dat ticket at the garage and fish behind the garage and the hotel all the way up to the bridge.

Hello mate there is a day ticket stretch Dewhurst House I think its £5 a day, havent fished it since last season but its a cracking stretch. You pay at the farm house and have about 1/2 mile to go at with plenty of barbel coming out on boilie and pellet
