lack of fishable pegs on derwent and trent

[Tracey Lacey]

I am sorry you could not find a fishable peg on the Derwent – George Elliott spent considerable time clearing footpaths and pegs prior to the season but it seems they have become overgrown to some extent due to the hot weather – but i must say that if you spent maybe 10 minutes when you found the desired area you wished to fish you could clear a peg of weed easily. This would help the next angler and the area would become reestablished -and if possible help the club and your fellow anglers where you can.
Come on we cannot make “armchairs” everywhere, we have spent large sums making up pegs on the Trent – Ully Gully – Grimshaws and the other lakes this year – we cannot do everything – its your club as well so your help in this small matter would be appreciated.

I would think that the lack of easy to get to swims on the Derwent is symptomatic of the lack of use by anglers not neglect by the club. If there were a lot of anglers fishing it there would soon be plenty of trodden down banks but these days it seems that these days people me included want to get their cars and tackle as close to their peg as possible.

Surely part of the fun of river fishing is surely finding your own peg, have been down the Derwent a few times this season and have caught everytime, so agree with you Ian
