I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man, if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.

E. B. White (1899 - 1985)

Please remember that tickets must be renewed between January 1st and April 1st.

After March 14th you cannot fish until you have renewed your ticket. Last year we reached our limit for members and consequently we now have a healthy waiting list, so please bear in mind that if you have not renewed by the 1st April the spaces will be filled and you will have to go to the back of the waiting list and therefore pay the entrance fee again.

Please DO NOT let this happen.

The D.V.A.A is a well-established club with its origins in Uttoxeter and has a membership of 600. The club controls the fishing on 12 pools containing most species of coarse fish and is open all year round.

Some pools contain large Carp for the specimen angler, Others contain quantities of smaller fish for the pleasure angler and the match fishing sections. All of the pools have safe car parking which in most cases is within close proximity to the water.

For the river enthusiast there are approx 11 miles of bank on the River Dove which holds a good head of Barbel with the chance to catch that elusive double figure fish of your dreams.

For those hardy winter anglers out there then the opportunity to catch quality Grayling to over 2lbs should be making your mouths water.

There is also a short section of the River Churnet.

River Dove - Taken by Trebor

Night fishing is available on the River Dove and several of the pools and is regulated through an additional permit.

The waters are located on the Staffordshire / Derbyshire border and are approx. 10 to 15 minutes drive from the main A50 Derby to Stoke road.

They are reserved for our members use only.
