River level

River level integration coming for this stretch.

The lowdown

  • This is the Stone town-side section of the River Trent, centred around Stone Bridge and the canoe-club area.
  • The upstream limit is roughly 300 yards above the bridge, ending where anglers can walk to before reaching a hedge.
  • Downstream, the water runs for about 500 yards below the bridge, finishing at a double fence opposite the bungalows.
  • It’s the town side only. The A34 side is excluded, so don’t wander onto the wrong bank and create a cheeky bit of bother.
  • The stretch is controlled by Bibbys & Stone & District AC, with fishing access arranged for Stone Private Angling Club members.
  • Parking is available at the canoe club. SPAC also identifies roadside parking near ST15 8QW, which should make getting to the swim less of a faff.
  • The official Stone stretch page doesn’t publish a peg count, so expect a natural river section rather than a numbered-peg setup.
  • No fish species are named for this exact stretch, and the published details don’t confirm night fishing here. Keep that in mind before planning a late session.
  • The checked details don’t set out particular methods, depths, swims or seasonal tricks. The sensible starting point is to study the flow, crease and any quieter water on the day.
  • A Google map is provided on the official SPAC water page, making it the bob-on place to check the boundaries before fishing.

Methods: The checked details don’t specify particular methods for this section. Treat it as a proper river swim: read the flow and features on the day, then choose your approach accordingly.

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.

Key rules

  • Stone Private Angling Club membership is required through the stated arrangement.
  • The fishing is on the town side of the River Trent only.
  • The A34 side of the river is excluded.
  • SPAC membership cards must contain a recent photograph.
  • A membership card without a recent photograph is invalid for fishing.
  • A valid rod licence is required on SPAC waters.

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.
