Fishery Information
Shardlow Marina is a popular fishing destination located in Derbyshire, England, fed by the River Trent. The marina offers a high likelihood of catching a variety of fish, particularly when the river is high and fish seek refuge in the calmer marina waters. Please note that fishing is not allowed in all areas of the marina, so be sure to read the signs and inquire at the shop for information on permitted fishing sections.
What size do the fish go to?
At Shardlow Marina, anglers can expect to catch mostly silver fish, such as roach and dace, ranging in size from 3oz to 6oz. However, there are opportunities to catch larger bonus fish if the feeding strategy is executed correctly.
What tactics work well?
Fishing tactics at Shardlow Marina should be as delicate as possible to avoid attracting predators like pike. The water is quite deep, with the popular wall section being around 12 feet deep and other areas averaging around 6 feet. The marina is home to various predator fish, including large perch. Adjusting your tactics based on the water depth and species targeted can be beneficial. Staying alert to the water level is also important, as it can rise quickly when the river is high, sometimes leading to a scramble to keep tackle dry.
