WELCOME TO BLACKMOSS FLY FISHING ASSOCIATION.
We are what it says 'on the tin' a fly fishing association, small in numbers ( we prefer it that way) but big in quality.
We have some good all year round fishing for rainbows in the lower reservoir and superb fishing for brownies in the lower and upper reservoir from March until September.
Although we are are small club, and wish to remain so, we do sometimes have vacancies for new members.
We also sell day tickets so that non members can experience the quality of fishing Black Moss. It's not easy fishing, not a stew pond in sight, but when you get it right it can be brilliant.
You can find contact details at the top of the page and day tickets details on the right hand side as you scroll down.
Tight Lines.

WINTER UPDATE
A very quite few months, with a great deal of adverse weather has meant very few members venturing out to wet, or ice, a line.
A couple of items for both members and day ticket holders, first of all, United Utilities have started work on both reserviours, to strengthen the overflow walls.
This means that at sometimes over the next few months access to a small part of the reserviours may not be available during the working week, however this restiction will be kept to a minimum.
Secondly, we now have a replacement stove in the fishing hut, so you can warm your bits and bobs during the cooler parts of the year.
The 2012 Club Annual Dinner, will be held on the Saturday 24th March, so make sure that you contact David to book your place.
START OF A NEW SEASON
THE END OF ONE SEASON & THE START OF ANOTHER.
The summer has now long gone and as we approach the short days and long nights of winter, a little reminder that the top reservoir is now closed until the 15th March 2012.
The lower reservoir is, of course, still open and will remain so over the winter.
A stocking of rainbows will take place over the next few weeks, with about six fish being tagged. If you happen to catch one of the tagged fish please enter the fact onto the log, giving details of condition etc. and PLEASE RETURN IT so that we can gain some information as to to the growth rate/ condition of the fish.
DAY TICKET holders please note only rainbows to be taken between 1st October and 14th March, ALL BROWNS to be returned.
SUMMER COMPETITION. JUNE 2011.
SUMMER COMPETITION ....A bit of a difficult day for catching fish, with a very cool wind blowing from the north east, but that did not stop the hardy souls that are Black Moss members and guests from catching some nice fish.
The winner of the members competition was new member, Phil Booker who won himself a £20. voucher to spend at Complete Fisherman.
John Shaw won a days fishing in the guests competition with Brandon Hylton walking away with the Richard Wheatley fly box, containing 100 flies, which was the raffle prize.
A nice hot serving of meat and potato pie warmed everyone up at lunchtime.
A big thank you to everyone who turned up and supported this event.
Looking forward to the next one.
