Trent Valley Angling (TVA) is managed by the Holme Pit Action Group. We offer membership to fish at Clifton and Lenton in Nottingham and Barton in Fabis, South Nottinghamshire. Our core aim is to respect the environment and the land we fish on and to promote good fishing practice. We are a "not for profit" group of local volunteers with a passion for angling, wildlife and the Trent Valley.
