Celebrating our centenary this year (2012), the Club was created by the then Earl of nearby Elvaston Castle in 1912. His Estate included much of the River Derwent to the south of Derby around Borrowash. Our river fishery now extends from some 2 miles north of Derby at Darley Abbey, downstream to Borrowash, some 5 miles south of the city.
The river offers all aspects of coarse fishing from fast gravelly shallows (specimen chub and barbel) to deep slow stretches (bream, roach, perch, pike, occasional carp) and grayling and dace are caught throughout. Double figure barbel, 5lb+ chub, 8lb+ bream, double figure pike and 3lb+ perch are not unusual and anglers targeting any of these specimens stand a very high chance of success. The river also holds a limited head of carp and tench which are more difficult to target.
Besides the river, the Club owns two still water lakes (Derwent Valley Fishery) at Darley Abbey providing both carp, tench and 'silver fish'.
Access to all waters is excellent, with a hard surface track to virtually all the river for easy trolley access and strategically sited car parks both public and private (key required) exist.
The Club holds Members Matches throughout the season (June 16th - March 14th) plus a 'Winter League'. Match bookings from other Clubs are most welcome.
The entire fishery is well bailiffed and whilst we are a friendly club, keen to welcome new members, we will not 'under any circumstances' tolerate unsociable behaviour or litter dropping.
WARNING TO ALL ANGLERS - BEWARE OF OVERHEAD POWER LINES
NO FISHING IS ALLOWED AT ANY TIME BETWEEN THE OVERHEAD POWER CABLE WARNING SIGNS WHEREVER SITED ON THE EARL OF HARRINGTON'S ANGLING CLUB WATERS
