River Dove

The society`s stretch of the river Dove at Doveridge can provide some good quality fishing particularly during the winter months of the year. The one drawback with this water is the walk of around two fields length to get to the waters edge.The best advice is to travel lightly and carry only the minimum of tackle as the walk can be difficult. Despite this the Dove can provide some remarkable sport especially in winter when chub and barbel amass in huge shoals, at this time of the year catches of fifty pounds plus are quite often reported with ledgered worm or maggot being the most popular baits. During the late spring and summer the Dove can prove to be a delightful little river for those anglers using either a dry fly or very light float tackle and although the society does not regularly stock this water various other clubs both up and downstream stock their stretches with brown trout. As of this year there are believed to be plans afoot by the environment agency to stock this river and other tributaries of the Trent with salmon.
