Weston (River Trent at Weston-on-Trent)

Weston is one of Fenton and District Angling Society’s least-fished River Trent waters. It’s a proper wild-feeling venue, with high banks and dense vegetation making access a bit of a faff.

The lowdown

  • This is the River Trent at Weston-on-Trent, Derbyshire, held by Fenton and District Angling Society (FDAS).
  • FDAS describes Weston as one of its least-fished waters, so it should suit anglers after a quieter club stretch rather than a busy procession of pegs.
  • The banks are high, and the vegetation is dense. Getting to the water needs care, so sturdy footwear and a sensible approach are bob on.
  • It isn’t a wide-open, easy-access venue. FDAS specifically says the vegetation makes the water difficult to negotiate, so allow time to find the recognised pegs.
  • There’s no confirmed stretch length or peg count published by FDAS. Don’t turn up expecting a numbered run of swims or a handy venue map.
  • The stretch has a history of pollution, but an Environment Agency initiative stocked tens of thousands of small chub, barbel and dace.
  • FDAS says those stocked fish have flourished. Chub and barbel are therefore the main named draw, with dace also included in the stocking story.
  • Grayling are recorded as present, and FDAS reports a brace caught here in 2018. A cheeky grayling would certainly make the trip.
  • No venue-specific flow, depth, feature, seasonal or preferred-method detail is published for Weston, so keep the approach flexible rather than arriving with a rigid plan.
  • Night fishing is not confirmed for this stretch. Access is through FDAS membership arrangements, and anglers must carry current membership identification.

Methods: The checked details don’t set out a particular method, swim pattern or seasonal approach for Weston. Keep things flexible around the recognised pegs, while taking extra care through the dense vegetation and high banks.
