Cuttle Brook

A very popular water holding big Barbel, Chub and Carp plus all the usual species. From Swarkestone Bridge (A514) 300m past Garage turn right into track (sign-posted)

 

Follow the track for 1mile to river, CAR PARK 1, Park near footbridge (never block track) fishing here is good for Barbel, Chub, Roach and Bream. The pegs above bridge are very good

 

 

CAR PARK 2 is a further ¼ mile down the track in the Woods. The pegs along the roadside can all produce good catches of Chub and Roach. Barbel can show anywhere! The pegs in the wood are a lot deeper and hold Big Perch, Chub and Carp, Below the Woods the river returns to fast shallow runs (Barbel & Chub)

 

 

For CAR PARK 3 from Swarkestone Bridge, 200m past the A5132 junction turn right into Church Lane, drive down to the river then turn right. Go 70m and park near buoy (do not block road). Just below the bridge is the old weir good for Barbel, Chub, Perch and Pike. The Pegs downstream are good for all species

 

 

CAR PARK 4 is located down Woodshop Lane which is between the bridge and The Crewe & Harpur Pub. Park in the lane (please do not block / annoy locals) and go down gravel path between house and bungalow (30m From main road). River here is slow and deep holding all species, upstream is shallower and holds Chub and Barbel

 

CAR PARK 5 From Swarkestone Bridge, turn right towards Willington (A5132), go 1/2 mile and park in lay-by on the left.(Barrow on Trent Sign) Walk across field to the river (island). The top peg is very deep 12’ and holds everything, around the island is good for Barbel and Chub, as is the straight below
