Newton Solney — Newton Water Old Stretch

Newton Water Old Stretch is SDAA’s lowland River Trent water at Newton Solney, with roughly 20 pegs on the Derbyshire bank. It sits close to the River Dove confluence, with the Trent forming the county boundary with Staffordshire here.

Run by Swadlincote & District Angling Association · checked 6 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • This is a proper rural Trent setting, with floodplain-like ground, arable land and gravel-extraction areas nearby.
  • The stretch is known as Newton Water Old Stretch and is run by Swadlincote & District Angling Association, or SDAA.
  • There are approximately 20 pegs according to the fishery description. That gives the place a decent club-water feel without it sounding rammed.
  • Fishing is from the Derbyshire bank. The Staffordshire side is across the county-boundary river, so make sure you’re set up on the correct bank.
  • The River Dove joins the Trent near Newton Solney, which is the big feature of the area and adds a bit of extra interest to this lowland river water.
  • The named fish list is a cracking Trent mix: barbel, bream, chub, perch, roach, pike and zander. Dace are also reported, although they aren’t included in the site’s species list.
  • For a general approach, this is the sort of water where anglers will be thinking about the river’s natural features and keeping an eye on conditions before choosing a swim.
  • The checked details don’t give peg-by-peg features, exact depths, flow descriptions or a seasonal form guide, so there’s no point pretending every swim fishes the same.
  • SDAA controls two River Trent stretches and has been going since 1946. This Newton Solney water is part of a long-established South Derbyshire club setup.
  • There’s no published day-ticket option or night-fishing detail on SDAA’s own website, so sort the membership side before making the trip.

Methods: The checked details don’t specify a particular method, swim depth or flow pattern. Pick your approach around the conditions on the day and the features in front of you.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
