Clifton Bridge & Grove Farm (Notts Federation)
The lowdown
- The federation says pegs just above the bridge are known for double-figure barbel.
- Wilder feel than the city stretches — take bank sticks or a tripod that'll go into gravel.
Methods: Mostly heavy feeder with big pellets in the flow; float in some glides.
Access & tickets
Federation Trent day ticket
The federation says day tickets are available to non-members on Radcliffe Viaducts, Clifton Bridge and Powergen. No price published on those pages when we checked.
Several Trent stretches are open to non-members on day tickets; membership and federation rules cover the rest. Night-fishing permissions vary by ticket and water, so check the rules page.

Key rules
- Federation rules apply — night fishing depends on your ticket and the water, so check the rules page before staying late.
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.

Clifton Bridge gauge
Nearest EA gauge we've matched — it isn't on this stretch, so levels on your peg will differ.

We don't publish an "ideal level" — nobody can promise one. Flood water is dangerous: if it's up and coloured, stay well back from the edge. Open River Ready
