We don't publish an "ideal level" — nobody can promise one. Flood water is dangerous: if it's up and coloured, stay well back from the edge. Open River Ready

The lowdown

  • This is one of four permitted River Ribble stretches in Clitheroe, run through Ribble Valley Borough Council’s fishing-permit scheme. It’s separate from the excluded Low Moor–West Bradford water.
  • The fishing is on the south side of the river at Brungerley Park. A lovely setting, with parkland, woodland, the Ribble Way and the nearby Ribble Valley Sculpture Trail.
  • Brungerley Bridge is close by, carrying the B6478 over the river. Handy landmark, and a proper bit of local scenery while you’re sorting your swim.
  • The council names trout, sea trout and salmon, along with chub, grayling and roach, as available freshwater species on the permitted water.
  • Fishing is daylight-only, so there’s no evening or overnight faff here. Juniors must not fish when the river is in flood.
  • The rules allow a maximum catch of two brace per day. Fish under 10 inches must go straight back, and all hen fish must be returned during October.
  • Children need to be accompanied by an adult. Children and juniors must also hold their own Environment Agency rod licence where one is required.
  • Carry your permit while fishing and show it to the bailiff if asked. Bailiff instructions must be followed, and the council says permission may be withdrawn at any time.
  • No camping, fires or swimming on the riverbank. Environment Agency rod-and-line byelaws apply too, including a maximum of two salmon per season.
  • Disabled access is available at Brungerley Park, and the council says easy parking is available for its Clitheroe fishing locations. A tidy, accessible option for a short Ribble session.

Methods: The checked details confirm fishing for trout, sea trout, salmon, chub, grayling and roach, but don’t specify particular methods. Stick closely to the permit conditions, daylight restriction and Environment Agency byelaws.
