2019 River Season Reopens on June 16th!

River Derwent chub fish at Belper

This is a reminder to all anglers who wish to coarse fish the Belper section of the River Derwent, either as a club member or on day ticket, that rivers in England & Wales reopen to coarse angling on The Glorious 16th – Sunday June 16th. That’s just a month away!

You can fish the majority of our stretch of the Derwent around Belper on a day ticket, although the small length around Wyver Lane Pond is available exclusively to club members with season permits.

If you would like to join our club there is still time to purchase an annual ticket. Please view our Membership & Day Ticket Info page for further details.

The club would like to wish “Tight lines” to all anglers fishing our waters.

Please remember to take photos of your captures and send them to us via our online catch report.

Tight lines for 2018 from all at Belper & District Angling Club!

Massive dace & roach bags caught in River Derwent match!

Dace and roach bags caught match fishing on River Derwent

Just before Christmas several club and committee members fished a light-hearted 3-hour match on the River Derwent, just upstream of Belper town centre, and landed some fantastic winter bags of silver fish!

The top 5 anglers weighed in: 11lb 2oz, 10lb 14oz, 9lb, 7lb 2oz and 3lb 14oz, with the predominant species being dace and roach. That is some serious winter sport for any river!

Our club runs a full programme of matches, held throughout the year, and this Christmas Eve river match may become the next addition to our match calendar.

We run a series of short summer evening matches, which often need 16lb+ to win!

If you’d like to sample some of our red-hot, winter river fishing for yourself, or if you’re a match angler who would like to join our club scene, then please consider becoming a member.
