Crow Trees — River Trent Dyke, Newark

Crow Trees is a 26-peg stretch on Newark’s non-tidal River Trent Dyke, run by Newark and District Piscatorial Federation. It’s a cracking option for float fishing, with autumn and winter roach shoals and bream and skimmers highlighted earlier in the season.

Run by Newark and District Piscatorial Federation · checked 3 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • This is the non-tidal River Trent Dyke in Newark, with 26 pegs under Newark and District Piscatorial Federation. Keep that Dyke location in mind when heading out — it’s the stretch you’re after.
  • Float fishing gets the holder’s recommendation here. If you fancy watching a float rather than settling behind rod tips, that’s the clear steer for planning your session on this bit of water.
  • Autumn and winter are the highlighted seasons for roach shoals. That gives the colder months a proper place in your plans, rather than treating Crow Trees purely as a summer outing.
  • Earlier in the season, bream and skimmers get the mention. There’s a useful seasonal change of emphasis here: those fish earlier on, then roach coming into the picture for autumn and winter.
  • The marina mouths and lower pegs are the named areas for bream and skimmers. They’re the handy pointers for choosing where to head if those are the fish you’re after.
  • Getting there starts with Mill Gate into Mill Lane. Cross the bridge and park on the left beside the Dyke — a straightforward set of landmarks to keep handy before setting off.
  • From the parking area, walk upstream over the long stone bridge and through the clapper gate to reach the pegs. Keep that walking route in mind when sorting your tackle for the day.
  • Full and Associate Members can fish here, and visitors can buy a day ticket online or on the bank. Online buyers should keep their receipt email ready, either printed or on their phone.
  • This is a daylight session, not an overnight job. Day tickets cover dawn to dusk, night fishing is prohibited, and bivvying up overnight for a cheeky dawn start isn’t allowed either.

Methods: Float fishing is the holder’s recommended approach. Think roach in autumn and winter, with the marina mouths and lower pegs highlighted for bream and skimmers earlier in the season.
