Fishing set to return to Trentside nature reserve

ANGLING could resume in 2023 at the Attenborough Nature Reserve following a meeting between the Angling Trust and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.

Attended by the chief executives of both organisations – Jamie Cook (AT) and Paul Wilkinson (NWT) – along with Nottingham AA general secretary David Turner, the meeting agreed to restart negotiations on a new licence with the aim of identifying angling opportunities across the nature reserve next to the River Trent.

Further discussion will focus on the number and distribution of areas for angling, based on accessibility, species and habitat sensitivities, the potential of areas for disabled and/or junior anglers and options regarding parking on site.
