About River Birkin
The River Birkin in Greater Manchester is a small river that runs alongside the River Bollin. It starts at the lake in Tatton Park and joins the River Bollin at Bowden. The river is mainly used for fishing and has good populations of brown and rainbow trout. Dunham Massey Angling Club has a short stretch of the river, and while it can be difficult to cast a fly, it is still worth a try. There are shoals of dace and large trout in the river, especially in the deeper holes under overhanging trees. In the summer when the water is low, try wading and casting a fly or using a worm to catch trout or chubb in the river.
