Fishing near Accrington, England

Accrington is one of the Derbyshire towns of England. Roughly 34,897 live in the town itself. In the order you would reach them: Fir Tree Flash 19 miles, Leigh Branch 19 miles to the south-west, Deer Hill Reservoir 22 miles then Valehouse Reservoir 26 miles to the south-east. Fir Tree Flash is the plain first choice: find the weed edge, then work the drop behind it. Most of it sits behind a dam wall. Reed beds repay a slow, close approach. Some winters cap these and some do not. A mild week can undo a month of cold. The first on the list, Fir Tree Flash, measures about 12 acres. Fir Tree Flash has mapped parking, which saves a long carry. Open records for Derbyshire list brown trout, rainbow trout, chub, European grayling and perch. Still and moving water both feature on the list. Rules here are England rules, whatever the water looks like....
