Angling Passport

Welcome to our new angling passport scheme.  The scheme is a sheer delight for the roving angler as it is operated through a unique token payment system. This allows anglers to access any of the participating fisheries when they want and without the need to contact anyone beforehand.  Within the RCCT scheme there is a choice of venues, that offer chances to fish small challenging rivers and streams typical to Lancashire.  These streams contain a variety of species including, trout, grayling, chub, and dace. 

 The tokens are interchangeable with many of the schemes through the country, this results in a vast choice of fishing available through the scheme; from the rushing moorland streams with wily, pocket-sized brown trout to the languid meandering lowland streams with good mayfly hatches and their large brown trout; short spate rivers containing good runs of peal and the secluded farm lakes with their trout, carp and tench.
