Some lovely fish caught from the Derwent today:
Quality River Derwent grayling & chub captures – November 2020
Nice chub taken on stick float tactics by Elliott Boam today.
Great sport on the float, on the club’s stretch of River Derwent
Brace of 4lb River Derwent chub
This beautiful pair of Derwent chub were caught from our stretch of river near Belper.
Both fish weighed around the 4lb mark and were caught on legered luncheon meat by David Steed, who emailed us the details and photo via our catch report submission page.
Congratulations David and thank you for sharing the details with us!
River Derwent – new season captures June 2018
Alfreton-based angler and BDAC member, Andrew Kennedy, enjoyed a great early morning float fishing session on our stretch of the River Derwent near Belper last week, showing the river’s potential for both coarse and game species.
He sent us details of his session using our catch report & photo form and had the following to say:
“I had a really enjoyable session on the Derwent last Saturday morning, before work. I got off the mark for the season with no less than 5 species! With chub, trout, barbel, perch and grayling all caught. I landed a total of 4 chub, ranging from 3lb to a specimen chub just shy of 5lb; all on the float. Most fish took trotted caster or worm, with the barbel taking a banded pellet on swimfeeder. Great fun and just reward for a dawn start!”
You can fish our length of the Derbyshire Derwent on both season permit and day ticket.
