Market Deeping Club Match Section

The Market Deeping Club Match Section is a day-ticket bit of the River Welland, running along Bridge Street into Church Street in Deeping St James. Handy access, plenty of parking and a cracking list of target species make it a useful urban river venue.

The lowdown

  • This is the Deeping St James Angling Club’s Market Deeping Club Match Section.
  • The stretch runs along Bridge Street and into Church Street, with Deeping St James Bridge the nearest named access point.
  • It’s an urban village and town section of the Welland, so access is nice and straightforward rather than a proper trek across fields.
  • You can get at the water from roads, bridges, locks and a footbridge. Bob on if you like keeping your day flexible.
  • Parking is available along Bridge Street, with extra spots by the lock and further parking at the end of Fairfax Way or Riverside near the footbridge.
  • The club names roach, dace, bream, perch, chub, rudd, eels and pike as target species. A decent all-round list, with options for both silverfish and predators.
  • Fishing is allowed from 16 June to 14 March. Winter Sundays can be taken up by club matches, so check the match dates before setting off.
  • The club provides a river-level checking link on the venue page. Worth a look before you travel, especially when planning how to tackle the water on the day.
  • A £5 day ticket covers any of the club’s Nene or Welland river venues on the chosen day, so you can move between eligible club waters if you fancy a change of swim.
  • The ticket is for one angler only and cannot be passed between people. You’ll also need a valid Environment Agency rod licence.

Methods: The named target list gives you plenty of scope, from general coarse fishing for roach, dace and bream to perch, chub and pike. Check the river level and club match calendar first, then pick your approach on the day.

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.
