Radcliffe Viaducts (Notts Federation)

43 numbered pegs next to the Finger Ponds — a consistent match venue with barbel, bream, pike and the odd river carp.

Run by Nottingham Federation of Anglers · checked 2 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • The federation says roach and dace bulk up match weights here on stick float and waggler.
  • Barbel patrol the main channel; bream run big; pike are about too.
  • The federation calls the carp nomadic 'wildcards' — they're there, but don't bank on one.

Methods: Stick float and waggler for roach and dace; heavy feeder for barbel and bream.

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.
  • Gate key needed for the security gate.
  • Club match bookings taken.

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.

Colwick 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
