There is a sign on the banks of the Loxley river that says: "No Slipping Past This Point". If you view the image below, you'll soon realise that slipper is what you would refer to in the off-world as a fish. Sometimes a slipper is called a slider, and the two terms can be used interchangeably, the words are often shortened and used as a suffix. As there are in the off-world, there and many types of slippers and sliders, notable species include snarljaw, rainbowslid, dullslid and fallclimber. So what you would call fishing in The Dark Peak is slipping, and what you would call a fisherman is a slipperman etc.. Quite why no slipping is allowed past where that sign is located, I have no idea, I'm sure The Dark Peak District Council has its reasons -- maybe it's a spawning ground, or something.
