Holme Marsh / Weirfield — River Trent

River level

The lowdown

• This is WDAA water on the non-tidal River Trent, around Holme in Nottinghamshire. A proper association stretch, rather than a book-a-swim day-ticket number.
• The official pages don’t give a specific length or peg count, so there’s no faff trying to pin down the exact size of the water.
• There’s no published detail for this stretch on swims, depths, glides, creases, weir features or flood conditions. Best to get the local picture through WDAA and the bailiff.
• The stretch is members-only. Once you’ve joined, your membership lets you fish all WDAA waters, which is handy if you fancy moving around the association’s portfolio.
• Vehicle access to the Weirfield is by arrangement with the bailiff, Mr Mark Allen. Mr R Lee is listed as assistant bailiff.
• Don’t contact the farmers. Vehicles must not drive over the floodbank by the cattle-grid gate, and the access track can be impassable after heavy rain.
• Worth taking that access warning seriously: the farmer will not tow vehicles out. Drive slowly through the village and along the access lane, and show respect to local residents and farmers.
• Night fishing isn’t allowed on WDAA non-tidal river stretches. Fires are also prohibited, including portable barbecues, so leave the barbecue faff at home.
• Live-bait fishing isn’t allowed on WDAA waters. The official pages don’t list species specifically for Holme Marsh / Weirfield, either, so no firm species or approach is claimed here.
• Membership books run from 16 June to 15 June the following year. The 2026-27 individual adult price is £40, or £30 for an OAP membership.

Methods: The checked details don’t publish species, swims or feature information for this exact stretch, so no specific method can be pinned down. Fish within the WDAA rules and check the local arrangements with the bailiff.
