- I have fished a few times in England when i used to live their some years ago, however i can tell you that its worth a go fishing the river wyre, as there are trout and salmon in it, however i only fly fished it and it was a long time ago, so fishing with coarse gear may be somewhat different, so long as s you have permission to fish that stretch of water i cant see why you wouldn't catch anything, if you can give fly fishing gear a go as that what i used and had a few small brown trout if i remember correctly, for flies go for dries and maybe a Czech nymph, if your using carp gear then a simple bobber(float) with maybe some maggots may get results, all i can say after this is talk to the locals as they should be able to give you some advice or look towards joining a club. http://www.bfinternet.co.uk/cgi-bin/news/news.cgi?article=354&vf=true&site=mjfishing
