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.
