The lowdown

  • This is roughly 470 yards of River Trent at Bleasby in Nottinghamshire. A tidy little NAA stretch with a picturesque setting.
  • The water sits near the end of Boat Lane, with the route leading towards the Hazelford Ferry slipway. Handy enough once you’re in the right spot.
  • Parking is at the end of Boat Lane. From there, access means walking about 200 yards upstream to reach the river.
  • The access point is near the end of the caravan-site frontage. Keep that landmark in mind when finding the stretch.
  • Roach are predominant here, with chub also predominant. The water contains the species normally found in the Trent, but those are the two named standouts.
  • There’s no peg count or detailed swim map supplied, so expect to pick your swim along the approximately 470-yard length rather than fishing numbered pegs.
  • No flow, depth or specific features are given for this stretch, so the checked details don’t pin down particular glides, creases or snags.
  • Day tickets are available, making this a straightforward option for a day on the Trent. The NAA runs the water.
  • Night fishing is allowed only with a Night Fishing Permit. A day ticket does not cover a night session, so don’t get caught out.
  • The closed season runs from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. Outside that period, sort the correct ticket or permit before setting up.

Methods: The checked details point to roach and chub as the main targets, but don’t specify particular tactics. Choose your approach around the swim on the day, and make sure your ticket covers the session.

Key rules

  • Closed season is 15 March to 15 June inclusive.
  • Night fishing requires a Night Fishing Permit.
  • Night fishing is not allowed on a day ticket.
  • Access involves walking approximately 200 yards upstream from the access point near the end of the caravan-site frontage.
