South Ciffton, River Trent : Use NG23 7AH for sat'nav'

Fishery Manager is Mick Brown Tel: 07904849378

This fishery is a rarely fished and picturesque stretch of this much improving river. It is fairly isolated which you may class as an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your preferences and expectations.
To reach this fishery you head for South Clifton on the A1133. If travelling from the South you turn onto the A1133 from the A46 (Via the A1), if travelling from the North you turn onto the A1133 from the A156 at Torksey.
Take the most southerly of the two turnings sign posted to South Clifton (1st from the South, 2nd from the North) and head into South Clifton. As you enter South Clifton, just prior to the village green on the left, turn left into Coal Yard Lane. Drive right to the end of that lane and you will see a barn conversion in front of you. You cannot go any further. There is a wide grass verge on the right on which you can park. Please park at 90 degrees to the lane to allow for other cars to park alongside you.
From there you walk through the field gate and over a style into the meadow. Walk through that meadow, upstream, and follow the river bank to a second style. Our fishery starts at that second style and continues to the next field fence. It is not as far as it sounds and is well worth the effort. The stretch is well laid out with comfortable banks, and contains a good head of barbel, chub and silver fish.

Due to popular demand to our fisheries officer, please use the following link for checking the tides:-

Top marks to John Austerfield who kindly submitted these fabulous views of our South Clifton stretch at both High & Low water.

Stunning Photo's - thanks.

John also mentioned while sending the pictures, there was lots of activity up & down the river from water skiers on Sat & Sun. Thought anglers might like to take note.
