River Trent – Andressey, Burton upon Trent

Coors Angling Club’s Andressey stretch has 20 marked pegs and a proper change in depth, from 5–6 feet at pegs 1–5 to around 16 feet beside the willow at peg 6. There’s float fishing in the upper swims, plus a flat tarmac approach that suits a fishing trolley.

The lowdown

  • There are 20 pegs here, permanently marked and spaced roughly 35 yards apart where possible. That makes the numbering handy for finding your way about, rather than trying to work out which gap in the bank counts as your swim.
  • Start from the public car parks behind Burton Library. The approach is flat tarmac and suits fishing trolleys — a useful bit of the setup if you’ve got a seatbox and plenty of kit to shift.
  • The route crosses the Silver Way footbridge and brings you to the river at peg 8. Keep that number in mind when planning your session: it’s your arrival point, not the start of the pegged stretch.
  • Pegs 1–5 are approximately 5–6 feet deep. They’re the shallower option compared with peg 6, so don’t assume one plumbing-up job will tell you what’s happening across this whole section.
  • Peg 6 is the standout change in character: a large willow and approximately 16 feet of depth. That’s a proper jump from the neighbouring lower-numbered swims, and worth bearing in mind when choosing where to set up.
  • The upper swims offer stick-float and waggler fishing. If a session on the float is your thing, that’s the part to consider. Peg 20 marks the upstream boundary, so it’s also your clear stopping point.
  • Seasonal weed can reduce the number of fishable pegs. Twenty marked spots doesn’t always mean twenty usable swims, so leave yourself a bit of flexibility rather than pinning the whole trip on one peg.
  • The named fish are roach, chub, bream, perch and pike. There’s a mixed bag to think about, but the really useful detail for picking a swim is the contrast between the shallower pegs, deep willow peg and upper float water.

Methods: Stick-float and waggler fishing are the named options for the upper swims. Plumb up carefully: pegs 1–5 are around 5–6 feet deep, while peg 6 drops to approximately 16 feet.

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.
