Hi there. You can fish Ribchester village stretch. You get your day ticket from the spar at Ribchester. Also there is gregsons farm which is the left turning before you get to the bonsai stretch. You get the day ticket from the tickled trout garage same as the stretch at tickled trout you've fished before. Gregsons farm is a bit quieter than tickled trout as its further away from the m6 bridge.

Also you have the woodcutters stretch. Turn right as you go over the bridge to Ribchester and go down the track to the farm. Pay the farmer and then you can fish. To be honest there isn't much day ticket stretches on the ribble now. Church seeps used to be free but now it's been bought up and I believe the bonsai stretch is not available to fish. I'd get yourself into a club.

Mick the Woodcutters is Dewhurst Farm.

Hi thanks for correcting me. It's a stretch I've never fished. Just heard about it. I just fish the radac stretches now but got my name down for Prince Albert as well. Not too sure about the Preston stretches. Maybe a day ticket or two down there.

As far as I know no club has fishwick (A59 tickle trout down to the A6 London road in Preston, north bank) at the moment and it's just being fished for free.
