The Lower River Trent at Collingham was once the match angler’s Paradise. However, these days it’s the place to go if you want to bag up with barbel. Long gone are the days when you could “frame”with nets of roach and chub in a mixed bag or depend on the skimmers and slabs net. You can run a groove with a stick float and catch but not on a level playing field. Take your casters, maggots and hemp but boilies and pellets are a must.
Specimen hunters love the place, but so do plenty of ‘in the know’ pleasure anglers and matchmen, all of whom have barbel on the brain! Not to mention “catfish”
The Trent below Collingham weir is tidal and although the rise and fall of water twice per day is fairly slight and it is still noticeable but does vary in both time of the day and height. Viewing the fairly featureless stretch below the bubbling white water “the oven”of the weir pool is a daunting prospect. Think big and positive.

So with a predicted high tide at 1 meter at 5.30 then again at 17.30 on 3rd Aug, its looking good for some good weights hopefully some big chub, barbell, carp and pike plus zander .The banks have all been mowed and cut back but do remember not to set your bivvy to close as the River Trent is tidal and sometimes there is a up to 2 meter tide. Don’t forget the fleet that has lots of big roach,skimmers,bream carp and pike this is a water that is overlooked by a lot of anglers and you can sit and catch all day and it has fished really well last season why not give it a go.

This month (December 2009) the Environment Agency completed the construction of 18 new stone angling pegs on the tidal River Trent at Collingham.
Before the new pegs were built anglers had to manage to fish from large rocks that were used for flood defence purposes or unstable grass banks. Because this stretch of the river is tidal anglers had to continually reposition themselves to accommodate changing water levels.
The new angling pegs make it easier for everyone, and accessible for a broader range of physical abilities.
This stretch of river is extremely popular with anglers and is known for its specimen fish including barbel, zander, carp and chub.
It is operated by Collingham Angling Club on an open membership basis, but also as a day ticket fishery allowing any angler the chance to catch their personal best of many species. The membership profile of Collingham AA includes many concessionary licences held by junior, OAP and disabled anglers.
Simon Ward, Fisheries Recreation and Biodiversity Team Leader at the Environment Agency says “This is a really popular place for angling but the physical nature of the river bank made it very difficult for people to fish there. The new angling pegs will change all that, providing safe, easy access for people with a broad range of abilities.
“This is yet another example of the work we do with funding provided by anglers when they buy rod licences. We are investing this money in the future of angling, benefiting both today’s and tomorrow’s anglers.”
