Welcome to the first full season of the Peak Angling Passport Scheme! There are 12 beats available in the wonderful surroundings of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Peak District. All the beats are on private land, accessible only with permission of the landowner through the Peak Angling Passport Scheme. Do keep an eye on this website for the latest information.
The Trent Rivers Trust is working hard to protect and improve river habitat and water quality by working in partnership with landowners, farmers, statutory bodies, angling clubs and other organisations. The angling passport scheme is an important part of this work and the aims of the scheme are to bring income to areas where river habitat improvement works have been carried out or are planned, by providing access for anglers. By providing a sustainable income to farmers and landowners we hope it will help to protect the rivers for the future.
As these beats are on private property please remember that access is by kind permission of the landowner. The success of the scheme relies on trust, both on the part of the angler and the landowner.
Andrew Heath is the Trent Rivers Trust Project Officer responsible for organising the Peak Angling Passport scheme and environmental improvements on rivers in this part of the Peak District. Look out for him on the river bank and show him your tokens and licence, and he will give you the latest news on which beats are fishing well, flies and tactics.
