River Trent, Besthorpe

Brief description of fishery:

The club leases 2 lengths, upstream around the bend, and downstream through the gate. The Club has come to an arrangement to lease the Parish Council pegs on this stretch of water. The only proviso is that we give way to anyone from the village wanting to fish these pegs. Not a big issue as there’s only a few anglers that use these pegs. The benefit, along with these being good pegs, is that this stretch will no longer have day tickets. The upstream bend is particularly noted for its chub fishing.

In between our two stretches is a clearly marked, private stretch run by The Iron and Steel Angling Club. SAA members are NOT allowed to fish these pegs.

The upstream pegs are accessible on foot only.

Night fishing is allowed on this venue
