Newton Solney — Swadlincote & District Angling Association (SDAA) — members only

River level

The lowdown

• This is SDAA water, with the association controlling two stretches of the River Trent. The club was founded back in 1946 and is based in South Derbyshire.
• The Newton Solney fishery is members only. You’ll need a current SDAA membership ticket for access, so it’s not a case of turning up and grabbing a day ticket.
• SDAA’s published 2025–2026 adult subscription is £55. Senior membership is £35, while junior registration is free according to the membership notice.
• There’s a small bit of admin to factor in. New members pay an extra £10 for a key, and postal applications need another £2 for postage.
• If you arrange payment by card over text, SDAA lists a £1.50 charge. Nothing too dramatic, but worth allowing for when you sort the membership.
• The water is on the River Trent at Newton Solney, near where the River Dove meets the Trent. That puts the stretch in a cracking bit of South Derbyshire countryside, right by a notable river junction.
• No official SDAA information checked here confirms the stretch length, peg numbers, parking arrangements or which bank is controlled. Best not to assume access details on the ground.
• There’s also no confirmed species list for this exact Newton Solney stretch, and no official confirmation of night fishing. Those details need checking with SDAA before planning a specific session.
• No day-ticket option was confirmed either. In short, sort the membership and key first, then check the latest club instructions before heading down. Bob on once the admin is out of the way.

Methods: The checked information doesn’t specify methods, swims, depths, flow patterns or seasonal approaches for this stretch. Contact SDAA directly for the current fishing arrangements before planning a feeder, float or other setup.

Access & tickets

Membership can be arranged by post or by contacting SDAA by text. The association gives DE14 9PL for its secretary’s postal address; that is not stated as the fishing-access postcode.

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.
