The lowdown
- The official venue name is “Trent - Drs Surgery”, so that’s the one to look for on the DCAC waters list.
- It’s at Willington in Derbyshire, on the River Trent. A proper coarse-fishing stretch, rather than a trout number.
- The supplied length is approximately 1,100 yards. That gives you a decent bit of bank to explore, though the exact peg count isn’t published.
- Doctors Surgery is the access reference. Access is through a locked gate, so don’t turn up expecting an open-and-walk-in job.
- Vehicle access is available for roughly the first half kilometre. Handy enough, but the facts don’t confirm a dedicated parking area or postcode.
- There’s no published detail for this exact stretch on river features, depth, flow, pegs, swims or the fished bank. So the crease, glides and quieter edges are for you to work out on the day.
- The water is classified as coarse fishing. Specific methods and seasonal tactics aren’t set out in the venue information, so keep things flexible and read the river in front of you.
- Night fishing is specifically listed for Dr’s Surgery, but only with DCAC’s coarse ticket with night permit. The standard coarse ticket excludes nights.
- The wider Willington–Repton Trent valley is Derbyshire countryside along the River Trent. A cracking bit of Trent valley country, with this stretch forming part of the Willington Complex.
Methods: This is listed as coarse fishing, but no venue-specific methods are published. Tackle and approach are therefore best matched to the conditions you find on the day.

Key rules
- Access is through a locked gate.
- Vehicle access is available for approximately the first half kilometre.
- The standard DCAC coarse ticket excludes night fishing.
- Night fishing on Dr’s Surgery requires the coarse ticket with night permit.
Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
