Torksey Island, River Trent : Use LN1 2EE for sat'nav' 

Our Fishery Manager is - Robin Jones Tel: 07941886929

This stretch is a prolific silver fish venue with the ever present possibility of large specimens of most river fish including those illusive barbel into double figures. The banks are low and easily accessible but please be mindful that the river at this location is tidal. The mud uncovered at low tide is very silty and you are liable to sink up to your boot tops in it.
To reach this stretch you travel on the A156 from Gainsborough, which becomes known as Main Street as you enter Torksey. Just as you reach Torksey you pass a site on the right containing a number of Portakabin type buildings. Immediately beyond that site, prior to the first house on the right, there is a farm gate. That is the entrance to the fishery. The gate is secured with one of the club’s combination locks and is well signposted. You can drive into the field and park anywhere.
From the Sheffield area the best route is via the A1 South, left onto the A57, then left again onto the A1133 at Newton On Trent. Bear left onto the A156 and the fishery is on the left after the last of the houses. If you pass the portakabins, you’ve passed the fishery. (Sat’ Nav’ location is the Hume Arms pub in Torksey).
