Just being a pain in the butt, Reedley Marina's in Burnley, about 20 mins. away from Blackburn (by the train that goes by) which is on the opposite side of Burnley...

After just talking my my local tackle shop owner, it seems that to the best of his knowledge, no angling clubs have leased the right to this stretch. It used to be available on the "Anglers Together" scheme, whereby clubs paid £1.00 a member fee to BW, allowing participating clubs to fish each others waters, but since BW decided to increase the cost to £5.00 per member, every club I'm a member of declined to participate in the scheme again.

 

It may well now be free fishing. I've fished it several times and have never been approached by a bailiff looking for ticket money. However, I'd suggest you check with BW to be on the safe side. Don't just take my word for it!

 

I've found it incredibly difficult to find out who leases the fishing rights on the L&L. However, if you're intending to fish in or around the marina, I'd check with the site owners, as it usually isn't permitted.

 

Good luck - there are some cracking perch and roach in that area!

As this is on the similar stretch of the L&L, who has rights on the Hapton stretch folk`s. Will be moored there very soon

I've never been able to find out who owns the rights, so I've always fished the Hapton canal area and never been challenged. There are some rather large bream by the boatyard and some seriously big carp around Altham...there is also a massive perch waiting to be caught just by the disused swing bridge, my favourite fishing hole. I caught it once, and it managed to shake the hook at the net, but I'd estimate a 3 pounder. Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it!

 

Tight lines,
