I live in Formby Merseyside not far from the River Alt!! That's why I have to travel to the Hodder & Ribble for some good water. I also cast a line on the Wyre at Garstang. Favourite river is the Hodder. Lovely surroundings. Someone once said, Trout only live in lovely places (generally). How right they were.

Should mention that I have found the forum very useful. As a beginner with Tenkara I have found it a great source of information from like minded people.
Thanks to all those that have given such help and advice.

I mentioned I fished the Wyre at Garstang. It was there in May that I met Mike Roden's partner in Tenkara Centre UK. I watched him trying out a new rod. He let me have a few casts but I had some difficulties with it. I had read about Tenkara but couldn't understand all the implications. Having seen it I could see the benefits, especially for dry fly fishing. As a result I went to the Fawcett's casting day that very Sundayat Kirkby Lonsdale. Mike Roden was there demonstrating Tenkara fishing. I think I was his first "pupil" of the day. I was so impressed I bought a rod that same week.
So you can blame Mike Roden for all this. Check out Mike's new videos on Tenkara fishing on YouTube. (16/6/2013).
Many thanks Mike.

Hi Springerman, Welcome to forum; I just wondered if you'd ever heard of/seen a trout anywhere on the Alt? The reason that I ask is that there is a guy I know who is trying to catch a trout from every English county and he is having real trouble with Merseyside.... Feel free to PM if more appropriate than general forum  |
