vipguy   10 #1 Posted May 10, 2015 Greetings everyone!  I am wanting to try my hand at fly fishing and finally getting down to doing something about it as opposed to thinking about it.  Can anyone recommend any good places to fish? There are a few in Sheffield but Derbyshire seems to be the place. Any fisherman out there with stories to tell of 14lb rainbow trout that nearly pulled them over the boat please let's have them!!!  Dam Flask? I know it is stocked with trout but is is any good for fly fishing?  Please let me know your thoughts!  Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
dars35   10 #2 Posted May 10, 2015 they stopped stocking damflask with trout years ago, when the Stillwater closed season was abolished  probably very few left in there now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Goldhead   10 #3 Posted May 11, 2015 River Don - free fishing and very good for both trout and grayling. Otherwise yes, probably Derbyshire is your best bet; Ladybower, big reservoir with rainbows and browns, Barlow, small fishery with both fly and coarse pools. Further afield, Carsington - brilliant fishing but boat only and hence expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ALAN 58 Â Â 10 #5 Posted May 15, 2015 As a starter to fly fishing i would recommend Barlow fisheries four small ponds/lakes to try your hand at, not to overpowering and you will catch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
