Caythorpe–Hoveringham — River Trent

The lowdown

• There are three named sections to get your bearings: Caythorpe, Road Side and Hoveringham Pastures. They’re all part of this Nottinghamshire Trent fishery, with 140 pegs advertised across the fishery as a whole.
• Fancy a pleasure session rather than a match? Both are available here. The society publishes water bookings by section, so checking those before choosing your bit of bank is a sensible way to avoid faff.
• The Road Side section is the handy one for parking beside your peg: that arrangement is available at 19 pegs. Don’t read that as bankside parking throughout all 140 pegs, though.
• Bream and barbel feature in the society’s match reports. That’s useful background to its fishing, rather than a promise about what’s on the munch at any particular Caythorpe or Hoveringham swim.
• A day ticket is £5. For regular trips, the newer 2026 permit-sale notice lists £50, while the homepage still says £45 for a season ticket. Check the current charge when buying.
• A session into darkness is for permit holders only. There’s a separate ban on overnight parking, so get the parking arrangements clear before planning a night on the bank. Maximum stay is 48 hours.
• Access is via the A612 Nottingham–Southwell road. Caravans aren’t allowed in the car park or on the adjacent land, and camping is out too; anglers’ bivvies are the permitted option.
• Keep your patch bob on: take all litter away and use the discarded-line bin at the roadside section. Barbecues are banned across Midland waters, and respecting local residents is part of the deal.

Methods: Pleasure fishing and match fishing are both available. No particular rig or tactic is specified for these sections, so there’s no basis here for calling feeder fishing or trotting the standout approach.

Access & tickets

The 2026 notice offers permits for cash at Nathans of Nottingham, or by bank transfer arranged on 07835 017917; include your name with the payment. It lists £50, rather than the £45 still shown on the homepage, so confirm the charge when buying.
