Matlock Angling Club River Derwent

The club currently offers roughly about 3 miles of the River Derwent for fishing by its members. You can fish from the artist corner car park all the way through the town as far as the Old Permanite pumping station. We also have fishing in Matlock Bath and Darley bridge and also a small length at Oaker. The river is well known for its good Grayling fishing with lots of Grayling over a 1lb mark. It also produces lots of big Trout. Perch, Chub, Barbel, Dace, Roach are also present. The best approach on the river is to fish the stick float and to fly fish.
