A friendly East Lancashire fishing club offering scenic waters, community spirit, and rewarding experiences for anglers of all ages and abilities.
Laneshaw Reservoir sits high on Reedshaw Moss, along the Colne to Keighley Road, surrounded by sweeping views of Pendle Hill and the East Lancashire countryside. At 16 acres, it’s a wild, peaty water offering both beauty and challenge in equal measure.
Laneshaw’s character lies in its moorland setting, dark peaty water, and ever-changing moods. The reservoir supports excellent fly life thanks to balanced pH levels introduced via a borehole system, creating conditions for dramatic rises and feeding frenzies. Rainbow trout are stocked regularly throughout the season — and anglers can occasionally hook a surprise.
Laneshaw provides great accessibility around most of the water, with easy casting from both the banks and the dam wall. Its remote location makes for a peaceful, uninterrupted fishing experience.
Membership includes access to Laneshaw Reservoir, along with Churn Clough and Colne Water. Whether you’re a seasoned fly fisher or just returning to the sport, Laneshaw offers the perfect mix of challenge and reward in a truly scenic setting.
