NOVICE and seasoned fishermen and women alike enjoyfed a Festival of Fly Fishing at Stocks Reservoir.


Ben Dobson, who controls fishing at


the.trout fishery near Slaidburn, organ­ ised the one-day festival to allow mem­ bers of the public to have ^ o at the sport under the guidance of some of the coun­ try’s leading fly fishing experts. The event featured casting and fishing


demonstrations, one-to-one casting les­ sons for beginners and the more'experi--


Fly fishing festival is fascinating for all '


enced, and demonstrations of how fishing flies are made from fur and feathers. There were also boat tours on the reser­ voir. “Fly fishing is enjoyed by tens of thou­

Council move to bring more towni^traders


-A MOVE to entice more traders


: to operate from Clitheroe market , has been backed by council


, chiefs. Members of Ribble Valley


Borough Council have agreed to


, reduce the occupancy require­ ment for cabins at the market from five to three years in a bid to attract more traders. A five-year occupancy rule was


--introduced in the mid-nineties, to : encourage traders to commit


1 ,


; long-term to the market, ensure greater stability, and prevent the excessive transfer of businesses.


V . However, as James Russell, environmental health manager


‘) L<'£,K< )35>>y.£> : .f c 'C-.Mt , \ :


■Tor the council, explained: “This , regulation was introduced in slightly different times when we had considerable waiting lists for vacancies. .


^ “Unfortunately, the current climate is considerably different and several prospective sales of


v.long established busineses have fallen through.” .'. ■.■

£5m, investment will mean faster trains


AN investment of £5m. in rail track improvements will mean faster trains for commuters and passengers to and from Clitheroe. However, according to Ribble


Valley Rail chairman Peter Moore, there will be a period of “short, sharp pain” as travellers will be faced with bus journeys between Clitheroe and Blackburn during the work. The line will close at noon on


November 8th and resume nor­ mal service at 5 a.m. on Novem­ ber 26th-: Buses will be provided, one - a “fast” bus though to Blackburn, the other will call at the stations en route. “It’s all good news,” said Mr


Moore, adding the the user group was “exceptionally pleased with the investment.” Since December 2004, North­ ern patronage has gone up more than 29%, with an increase in p^engers from 64 million to 85 million. Railways are being refur­-
