The member accompanying the Guest is responsible for his/her conduct.

Following complaints from Members, a resolution was passed at the 2012 DRAC AGM banning Bait Boats on the Triangle Pool at Sawley.

Having been a keen angler for many years, nothing gives me more satisfaction than coming up with ideas to make fishing easier or help to put more fish on the bank.
Over the last few months I have been fortunate to have been featured in the Angling Times, once in an article about my fishing related inventions and more recently a feature dedicated to one in particular, the Pole Tip.
The Pole Tip is a method of attaching a tip to a pole whilst allowing the elastic to pass through it.
This allows a hands free method of fishing and is particularly effective fishing up in the water, even at depths as little as an inch.
The following is a link to my web site which includes video clips of the pole tip in use.

There have been reports of members being asked for payment for day tickets and being harassed while legitimately fishing club waters.

As we do not issue Day Tickets this is obviously a fraudulent act on someone’s behalf.

Should any member find themselves in this situation they should contact the Secretary at the earliest opportunity or report the circumstances by email to phil.harrison@drac.org.uk

Members are reminded that when fishing the A6 section of the Trent at Shardlow (Concrete Apron, below A6 bridge etc) that cars must be parked in the authorised DRAC carpark and under no circumstances be parked on the road leading to the Marina.
