River Derwent at Allestree

Members of Derbyshire County Angling Club should be aware that arrangements for visiting this fishery have changed from 16 th June 2008.
The Club has agreed to allow the use of the fishing rights to Mr. Tony Lomas, the Landowner and farmer at Holme Nook Farm, who will be selling day tickets to the general angling public.
In return Mr. Lomas has agreed to give 6 Club members free access to the water on any one day and will ensure that 6 fishing places are available. In the short term he will extend that permission to any member's guests or accompanying children or grandchildren.
Members should follow the rules in the current Club Handbook.
Members must also use the booking in form at the checking station and hang their disc on a vacant hook, once a checking station is in place.
Please cooperate fully with Mr. Lomas, if you have any questions or concerns please write to the General Secretary .
