The
Mid-Ribble Angling Society was formed in the late
1930’s and has enjoyed continued support
both locally and further afield over the years.
The basic aim of the Society is to secure, for
its members, the best possible fishing within
the means available. Membership is limited to
60 at present, male and female, many having over
15 years membership.
 The
Society controls over five miles of Salmon,
Sea Trout and Brown Trout Fishing on the River
Ribble and it's major tributary the River Hodder.
With the exception of a short stretch of water
at Long Preston the society's fishing is on
the right-hand bank of both rivers.
It is widely accepted that the best Salmon fishing
on the Ribble system is to be found below the
confluence of the Hodder and the Ribble (Hodder
Foot). The best Sea Trout fishing is to be found
on the Hodder, especially during a season with
high rainfall.
 The
society offers a diverse selection of water
from the smaller Hodder to the much bigger Ribble.
Downstream of Calder Foot, the system becomes
known as "Big Ribble". There are many
named pools which yield good numbers of Salmon
and Sea Trout.
The
society's waters are situated on the river Ribble
near Hurst Green and on the lower Hodder. There
is also a short stretch of water on the Ribble
at Long Preston.
All
of the society's waters are easily accessible
from the whole of the North West and car parks
are situated within a short walking distance
of the river bank.
 The
waters are stocked annually with Brown Trout.
Grayling are also present. They provide additional
sport for some of our members especially during
the winter months.
