Fishing near Chorley, England

Find Chorley in England, inside Derbyshire. The town holds close to 33,888 people. First the close ones: Leigh Branch out at 8.1 miles to the south, Fir Tree Flash out at 10 miles, Deer Hill Reservoir out at 30 miles to the east, Blackmoorfoot Reservoir out at 31 miles with Malham Tarn out at 36 miles to the north-east. Fir Tree Flash is small enough to walk round and read in a single session. No two of these fish quite the same way. Fish tight rather than far on all of these. It caps in a hard winter only. The safe answer is to fish it open. Leigh Branch is the easiest to reach with a car. County records name brown trout, rainbow trout, chub, European grayling and perch among the fish present. Reservoirs make up most of the choice here. Some of these are open to anyone; others are not. All of the above sit within reach of Chorley, which is the practical point....
