Haslams lake - Premium Members Only
The Club owns Derwent Valley Fishery, situated off Haslams Lane (opposite Folly Road) at Darley Abbey, Derby, DE22 1EB. There are 2 lakes, the largest being Haslams. This lake is only available to Premium Ticket Members - the water is now classed as a specimen carp and tench lake. The lake is continually being improved and developed. We have invested heavily by bank re-grading, planting around the perimeter of the lake and also stocking. The lake now has an Otter Fence and thanks to the Angling Trust for a grant of £5000 towards the cost on installation.
Update 24/25
The club has been planning some significant development to Haslams Lake for some time now. A project to crop some of the corners off the island, eventually ending with anglers fishing from the island instead of the outside. We have reduced the trees significantly on the island and continue to do so. A causeway is now in place over to the island (rhs of car park) with pipes installed to allow for fish movement. We are looking at 14 pegs with 3 of the corners becoming doubles so as not to lose angler capacity. Obviously there will be no driving to pegs to drop off tackle, when ground conditions allow but there will be pathways through so even the furthest walk will be pretty short.
Update - This Spring (2025) we are reducing the corners and digging down for peg areas and moving associated material. Through this year we will start peg construction before hopefully getting finished for the start of 2026 season.
