Hullo MS
Rib's my local fishery. It's quite scenic but the fishing is not, as trout fisheries go, exceptional. A lot of smallish rainbows predominate, not many larger fish. I've found the best flies to be buzzers, cats whiskers, and montanas/damsels later in spring. I usually end up with a CDC emerger on the top dropper and red bloodworm buzzer underneath. I cast to the rising fish when possible. It's in a valley so can be quite windy sometimes, but as it's roughly oblong, you'll always find a side with, rather than against, the wind.
It costs from £12 (1 fish kept, no time limit) to £28 (full dt, 4 fish bag). They have 5 boats for hire , but it's not a huge lake (13 acres) so a boat is not essential. They don't recommend booking. There is a pier on the north side that goes about 40 yards into the lake. There's also restaurants, tea-rooms, craft shops and a full-blown fishing tackle shop, where you buy the tickets, at the top of the valley.

As I said, it's not spectacular, but it's available for me!
