Stoke Bardolph members' sections (Ashfield AC)
The lowdown
- Kept as one page because the club describes these sections together and they share one membership.
- Above the weir is about a 200-yard walk from the anglers' car park — go light or take a barrow; the track's a public footpath, so no vehicles.
- Nelson Field and the Rack can be very wet and boggy after floods.
Access & tickets
Ashfield membership
Members-only sections; no day tickets above or below the Road Stretch.
Day tickets at Stoke Bardolph are for the Road Stretch only; the rest of the club's Stoke water is members-only.
Fish the club names
The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.
Key rules
- Members only.
- Don't obstruct the public footpath.
- Close and lock gates.
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
Where it is
