We have a waiting list of clubs wishing to affiliate but these will only be granted affiliation when one of the other clubs withdraw membership.
Match Fishing

The Pride of Derby are considered more of a “pleasure” fishing club than a match fishing organization. Most of our members prefer it this way, they can turn up to their favorite location on the Rivers any weekday or weekend and 99% of the time there will be pegs available where they want to fish.
On the 12 miles of canal that we lease we do allow match bookings as required. In all cases where match bookings are taken notices will be posted at the point of entry advising of the booked match.
Match Bookings.

If any bookings are required for the Trent & Mersey Canal please contact our match secretary Mr. Alan Grimshaw on 01332-811263 or by writing to him at 9 School Lane, Castle Donington, Derby. Alan will be most pleased to help you, the peg fees at present are £2-50 on the canal.
