River Wyre, near Wyreside Lancashire
General information found on Fishing the River Wyre in Lancashire
Various sections of the river Wyre appear to offer free fishing – always check first – including From the toll bridge for five miles to the sea at Knott End is free fishing. However most sections of the River Wyre in Lancashire are controlled by fishing clubs & angling associations.
Also various notes can be found on the web about other day ticket sections and where you might buy them, though these are often sketchy !
“Petrol station/ Garage shop St Michaels, man at shop said the ticket starts just past a red brick building which was a good ten min walk from the Bridge and then we couldnt get past the end of Wyreside Fishery as their boundary goes to the waters edge”
“Best access is from the Grape pub carpark. The day ticket stretch starts after a red brick pump house”
Often the best approach may be a club stretch! Please always check before you travel as things change ! Thanks
