The Angling Times used the section for the final of their Winter League, it was also used to stage the European Championships. Over the years the Embankment section of river has been used for some high profile matches. Fishing on the opposite side of Trent Bridge is possible, but parking looks a pain and there are rowing clubs – so could be a bit of a ball ache. Depending on where you park or where you want to fish will dictate the distance of the walk. Parking is ok, you have to pay a small charge (few pounds) during the daytime on the north side, there is a small road of free parking on the opposite side near Welbeck Hall. You can park very close to the river in a lot of places. The choice is yours, you just can’t use any bank sticks! Going old school with a bait smock is also an option. Depending on your set up, this could be a challenge – to fish comfortably, you will need a seatbox to fasten everything to – side trays, feeder arms and keepnet attachments.

Each bank is concrete and has a series of steps that are about a foot or so deep. On the other side, you can fish slightly further to just past where the old toll bridge crosses. Facing upstream from Trent Bridge, on the left (South bank) you can fish all the way to just past the suspension bridge. Enough of the sight-seeing though, let’s get onto the fishing.Īround Trent Bridge you can fish on both sides of the river. Depending on where you head, you should be able to see the Forest ground, Trent Bridge, County Hall, the suspension bridge and the war memorial.

The River Trent Embankment, or “The Steps” as they are referred to locally are a fairly iconic place to spend some time fishing.
