River Day Ticket Fly Fishing In The Peak District
Peak Passport
The Peak Passport is a system allowing anglers to buy a book of tokens then choose which beats of the river to fish. The fishing is for Wild Brown Trout on a catch and release basis. The rivers covered are mainly the Dove, Manifold & Hamp. Each beat of the river has a different value of tokens which must be placed in a token box at the riverside before fishing. This allows visiting anglers to choose different beats depending on how their mood takes them.
