Email me if you want further details. |
I fish the Dove and have fished the Derwent and The Severn, Dee, Bala, and Dane.
It's just that I have to travel and I had great fishing on my doorstep in Durham.

Your lot look like the best choice. I joined Hanley club but their stretch of the Dove is hammered by maggot fishers grrrr.
Pity cos I had a chub of 4.5lbs, and two trout totalling 5.5lbs in one night on there.
Fly Fishing Midlands
. Certainly is a wasteland, but thankfully has some decent fishing around it heading up into the Peaks as already mentioned. Other than Peak Passport scheme though there is not that much river fly fishing available on day ticket and it tends to be fairly pricey day ticket too. Ressie-wise, there's also Carsington, very scenic for a ressie. As well as fly only rivers clubs like Leek & District there are also some other clubs with mixed fly and coarse fishing on rivers and stillwaters like Burslem Izaak Walton, Fenton, Derby Railway Angling Club and Derby County Angling Club - a bit of googling on those will give you some ideas
