COVID-19. In accordance with guidance issued by the Angling Trust on 5th January 2021, fishing is not permitted on TVA waters until further notice. Link to the Angling Trust guidance anglingtrust.net/covid-19/.

Dunkirk Pond, Beeston Sidings Nature Reserve, University Boulevard, Nottingham. We are please to announce that HPAG will be taking on the fishing rights at Dunkirk Pond, subject to agreeing the terms. Further information to follow. When Government announced that fishing was allowed during the lock down restrictions, on 13th May the Angling Trust asked the Government to clarify if night fishing is allowed during the restrictions because camping (and staying out, away from home) is not allowed. Camping / staying out overnight is allowed only if you are (legally) fishing. The river season doesn't start until midnight on the 15th June. Therefore, until midnight 15th June anyone in a bivvy, under a brolly or other shelter on the river bank is classed as camping and not fishing. To comply with lock down restrictions and AT guidance, we ask that members do not set up until 7am on Monday 15th June (obviously no fishing until midnight).
From March to September each year we treat the filamentous algae at Holme Pit with a product called Excalibur, a liquid barley straw. The spraying takes place from a boat and usually takes around 2/3 hours to complete. You will be asked to bring your rods in during the spraying. Its safe for the fish and doesn't affect the fishing.
Spraying will take place on the followings days at 9.30 am. Please note - dates are subject to change so if you want to check before you go fishing, call Sion on 07447 013909. Friday 22nd May 2020 Friday 5th June 2020 Friday 19th June 2020 Friday 3rd July 2020 and then every two weeks during the growing season. New rules have been added for fishing during COVID19 - click here for new rules
There are no work parties planned until further notice. Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. The free family fishing event at Holme Pit on 18th July has been cancelled. This clarifies the previous rules and
Holme Pit SSSI has been awarded a Green Flag Award in recognition of achieving the national standard for parks and open spaces.
A really BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has helped manage this important local site over the last 19 years for both fishing and wildlife. We could not have done it without you! The next two work parties are on Sunday 9th and Sunday 16th September. Meet at the Pads at 9am. Work includes hand pulling the reeds and cutting back trees along the Pads and the Willows.
We'll be working from a boat and in the margins so please bring chest waders if you can. Everyone welcome. Click here Work Parties and Events for more details. During the school summer holidays from 24th July until the 30th August Holme Pit will be open to TVA junior members aged 14 (and below) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week.
We will supply the fishing tackle and bait for free and one of our Committee members will meet you at the pond, help you get set up and start fishing.

Please note, junior members must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times during the session. The GDPR became law on 25th May 2018.
