Help in the burton area...

[Connor Smith]

Hi guys, so as the title suggests I'm looking for a bit of help. Last week I found out I'm going to be working in Burton at the end of the month, for a good year or 2 at the old drake low powerstation. I was hoping to do a few nights in between work on the river whilst I was working away. So the problem I've got is I found out the local angling club is Burton mutual but they closed there membership at the start of the month, typical. Can anyone suggest another club not to far away or even a day ticket water I can do the odd night on. It would be much appreciated, maybe in return I could help someone out with areas on the middle severn.

No day tickets as I know off Connor, although there is a section in Burton that residents of Burton can fish for free. Not sure where it is though. How about Coors AC ?? They control lots of water in Burton it's self. There's Swadlincote AC a little further downstream. You have Derby Railway AC and Pride of Derby AC, further downstream still. I think any of those clubs are still taking on members.

Coors AC

Coors Angling Club is located in Burton Upon Trent, and hosts plenty of matches all year round.

As Simon has already mentioned, the right bank through Burton is a free section from just above the railway bridge at Waterside Road down to Newton Road Park and then there is a small section at Trent lane, Newton Solney. Barbel are scarce in this area, probably better looking lower down river and you also have the Derwent in Derby where you can get day tickets (Earl of Harrington). I would also recommend the clubs already mentioned. If your struggling, as a member of Burton Mutual I can get you a guest day ticket, but cannot guarantee you will catch anything

Derby Railway Angling Club are worth a look, they have a stretches a few miles downstream from Burton and you can pay a bit extra to get a night tight ticket.

Only 20-30 minutes drive to Pride of Derby from Burton, and plenty of Trent and Derwent to go at.

If you don't mind driving 45-60mins you would probably do better for barbel below Nottingham through to Newark. There are a number of day ticket waters, with differing reputations! Perhaps, Midland Angling Club who have water around Hoverigham or Nottingham Piscatorials water at Fiskerton. Details on their respective websites.
