Angling in Derbyshire and the Lower Peak District

There is a wide variety of fishing in Derbyshire. The rivers of the Derbyshire Peak District, the Wye, the Dove, the Lathkill, the Derwent and others are world famous as the historic home of fly fishing, and have been fished by countless thousands since and before the days when Isaak Walton and Charles Cotton roamed these parts.

More southerly the lower reaches of the river Derwent and the river Trent offer coarse fishermen much game. Aside from the rivers there are numerous gravel pits, ponds, lakes and reservoirs to try out.

The river Derwent flows south from Ladybower reservoir towards Derby, through some very fine scenery. The upper reaches make for some good fly fishing with plenty of trout and grayling, whilst as the river runs down below Matlock an increasing number of coarse fish are to be found including barbel and chub. The river Trent has lost some of it's popularity but good catches can still be had at Swarkestone.
