Forrest Hills (also known as Conder Valley fly fishery) offers both lake and river fly fishing. On the edge of the Forest of Bowland yet just minutes from junction 33 of the M6 Forrest Hills Fly Fishery is a beautiful and peaceful location with excellent access.
Beginners’ fly-fishing tuition is available covering casting, imitative fly techniques and fish handling. Fly fishing can also be incorporated into corporate training and teambuilding days.
Open from dawn to dusk, Forrest Hills has car parking and toilet facilities. Most of the jetties are suitable for wheelchair access.
Forrest Hills has a 4 acre, spring-fed lake with both jetty and bank fly fishing. Depths of 3 to 18 feet give a diverse range of habitats both for the fish and for their food.
Stocked fortnightly with 2lb average rainbow trout from Dunsop Trout farm in the Forest of Bowland, the lake also contains the occasional tiger, blue and brown.
