River Derwent - Sutton

Deep Waters Above the Weir

About 1.5 kilometres above the weir, the River Derwent in Sutton offers a deep-water fishing area renowned for its late-season action. As fish gather before spawning, anglers can find roach, dace, chub, gudgeon, perch, and pike, along with occasional barbel and bream. This spot is jointly managed by the Leeds & District Amalgamated Society of Anglers, ensuring a well-maintained environment for fishing enthusiasts.

Parking

Members have access to a private parking area situated between the road bridge ascending from Elvington and the water mill, right by the river. This convenient location makes it easy to set up and begin your fishing activities without hassle.

Club Memberships and Day Tickets

Club memberships are offered, providing anglers with access to the private parking and other member benefits. For those without a membership, day tickets are available at local retailers, including the Elvington general store. It's a straightforward way to enjoy a day on the river without the need for a long-term commitment.
