The River Don
The two stretches are situated around Kilnhurst. The first is immediately below the River Don road bridge between Kilnhurst and Hooton Roberts on the left bank and the second is on the same bank above the bridge, beyond the school. Access and pegging to the latter is still being developed, but the former has a locked, 'Anglers Only' car park for security alongside the bridge at the southern end and eighty purpose built anglers platforms situated along approximately one mile of river. The downstream end of this stretch can also be accessed from the northern end, again via a locked gate, and here cars can be parked behind the pegs.
The river is non-navigable so boats are not a problem. It offers a variety of features and species from pacy shallows to steady deep runs of 9 and 10 feet deep. Most river species inhabit the length including roach, dace, chub, bream, gudgeon, trout and barbel, the latter having now reached double figures. All techniques from stick and waggler to feeder and bomb can prove successful on the right day.
