neil r 1,858 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Does anyone know any shops with a good stock of fly gear in or close to Lancashire , the one I used to use in Stockport has shut down and most of the local shops have either no fly gear or just a token amount of cheap low end stuff . Ted carters used to alright but it's not the shop it used to be and most of the gear on their website is just a list of tackle they don't actually stock . I know I can order online but I like to get hands on before I buy when I'm looking for rods Quote Link to post
neil r 1,858 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Never been to John Norris but its a shop I'm going to with the mrs for my birthday present in march. One of my clubs has fishing on the Eden , esk , irt and mint aswell , not sure the mrs will be happy if I stop of for a bit of fishing though . I won't have time to go up tomorrow though and I want a 10ft 3 weight for Sunday , preferably a vision or maybe an hardy if I can get one Edited January 6, 2017 by neil r 1 Quote Link to post

air gun ant 1,666 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 gerrys of Morecambe have a decent stock of all things fishing and plenty of space to get hands on with a rod mate. but if you cant find what you want there (im sure you will) its not that much further up to john Norris. 1 Quote Link to post
neil r 1,858 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've been in gerrys for sea fishing gear , didn't think they did fly gear . I'll be up that way fishing in the next few weeks so I'll have a good look round this time Quote Link to post

Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Which was the one in stockport that closed down, the one in Heaton Moor? Quote Link to post
neil r 1,858 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Which was the one in stockport that closed down, the one in Heaton Moor?Yes . I think one of the staff died and the owner moved the shop over to colne or barnoldswick but I from what I can gather he was ill so shut it altogether Quote Link to post
