      • Sections

        Below are all of our sections available to fish at, please note the photos are due to be updated soon.

        Municipal

        • This section has 23 swims. which may change due to seasonal weed growth .
        • Access to this section is through the grounds of the Washlands Sports and Social Club through their main gate.
        • Parking on this section is behind most pegs. A very unique feature of this s of Coors A.C. water is that it is all single bank fishing due to the building up of the flood defences over the years to help stop Burton Town centre flooding. The consequence of this is that access to fish from the opposite bank is nigh on impossible, it’s a good thing to know that when you turn up for a days fishing, here you’ll have nobody opposite.
        • Target species :--- Chub, Roach, Perch, Barbel, Pike, Dace. Grayling.
        • Pegs 1 to 13 are best accessed from the Wash lands Club main gate. Via Meadow Road which may be locked with a combination lock for members out of club hours.
        • Peg 1 is sited just below a pipe bridge. The river here is wide, shallow and weedy for much of its width but on the inside is a deeper weed free channel which can produce bags of chub, dace even Grayling ! Peg 2 has similar characteristics. 
        • Pegs 3,4 and 5 have depth from the inside line to mid river.
        • Peg 6 is a noted peg, an old weir creates many vortices and back swims across the river whilst a large back swim on the inside makes it a must to fish when the river is carrying a little extra water. Though this swim is not just a flood swim it is capable of good nets of fish at any time. Many big chub to 5lb+ have been caught from this peg.
        • Pegs 7 - 13 are stick and waggler swims though peg 9 is a noted barbel area.
        • Peg 14 is the start of what is known as ‘above the groundsman’s.
        • Peg 15 has been much improved by the addition of a very comfortable platform.
        • These pegs right up to 23 can produce good bags of roach in the Summer and bags of chub in the Winter. Barbel can put in an appearance from any of these swims. The average depth is 4 - 5 feet.
        • Peg 22 & 23 is accessed from the Meadow Road car park.

        Sherratts

        • This section is accessible from Watson Street behind the Tesco supermarket and down to the public car park by the old pump house building. From here to the river is a flat tarmac walkway ideal for trolleys.
        • It has 33 pegs which may change due to seasonal weed growth which can be driven behind but in matches only.
        • The average depth of swims on the stretch is 3 to 5 feet.
        • Target species:--- Roach, Perch, Chub, Bream, Barbel
        • Starting at the upstream boundary peg 1 is in the shadow of the imposing structure of the Leicester Line railway bridge. 
        • Sharratts is the widest (approx’ 50 yards) of all the sections of river Coors A.C. control. Pegs 1 to 4 are fast shallow swims of 3 to 4 feet deep home to chub, dace and barbel. Pegs 5 to 9 smooth out because of slightly deepening water until we come to the famous bream pegs on 9 to 13. These have in the past thrown up big bags of bream to both pleasure and match anglers.
        • The next 20 pegs are quite even with bags of silver fish, roach, dace, chub, coming from any of them.

        Please note that seasonal weed growth may restrict the number of fish-able pegs

        Andressey

        • This section has 20 pegs which may change due to seasonal weed growth
        • Accessible via the public car parks behind Burton library
        • The walk to the river is by flat tarmac walkway, ideal for trolley and across the bridge over The Silver Way.
        • The tarmac track meets this section of fishery at Peg 8 and continues to the upstream boundary at Peg 20.
        • Target Species: Roach, Chub, Bream, Perch, Pike
        • Downstream end has pegs 1-5, with these being of similar depths to each other (5/6 feet), they also offer ideal stick and waggler fishing.
        • Peg 6 is dramatically different, a huge willow tree dominates the downstream at the end of this peg and shades a swim which is probably the deepest of any of the Coors AC waters, it's 16 feet deep, and home to all species, but this swim is noted to the big Bream at 7lbs+
        • Upstream from here, the rest of the swims to peg 20 offer some great stick and waggler float fishing with depths ranging from 5-8 feet.
        • Are you a devotee of the center pin? Then this is the section for you!
        • Some of the swims of this stretch lend themselves perfectly to this wonderful way of fishing.
        • On this stretch, as on all of our river sections, where possible, we have tried to keep the distance between the swims to approximately 35 yards. This gives all anglers ample room between swims, which are also permanently pegged.
        • Please note that seasonal weed growth may restrict the number of fishable pegs.

        Broadholme

        • This section has 26 pegs which may change due to seasonal weed growth and as the name indicates is an island. 
        • Parking is at Meadow lane, walking from here up onto the bridge. Access is via a ramp off the Burton Bridge down onto the island.
        • Target species:--- Roach, Chub, Bream, Perch, Pike, Carp. 
        • The upstream end of the island is where the river splits at the downstream end of the Andressey section. 
        • Looking from the top point the river flows on the right hand side opposite the Rowing club and the gun barrels and on underneath 3 arches of Burton Bridge on the Stapenhill side. The left hand side flows past the mouth of the Silver way and on underneath 1 arch of the Burton Bridge on the town side. 
        • Upstream and downstream of this arch are weirs. Carrying on past these weirs the river has a shallow back channel which joins back up to the main river and is just above the upstream boundary of the Baileys Meadow section.
        • As this back channel rejoins the main river we have pegs 1 to 5 going back upstream to the Stapenhill side of the Burton Bridge. 
        • Pegs 4 and 5 are below the buttresses of this bridge and have always been fish holding features providing big bags of roach quite often throughout the season and on other occasions chub. 
        • Peg 6 is on the upstream side running into the arches of the and is also a noted swim. The swims from here up to the point are quite even in depth and character lending themselves to stick and waggler presentations.
        • On the opposite bank is the Burton Rowing Club who use their side to launch rowing boats on most days. Some anglers can be put off fishing these pegs for that reason but don’t be put off because the fish certainly are not. They have that disturbance every day and are well used to it, very many good bags of fish have been taken from these swims despite this, seemingly to us, this disturbance of the river!
        • The last swim on this side at the top point is 16, coming around the point we come to peg 17, 18, 19 these are on clear bank and are opposite the mouth of the Silver way noted for its bream in the scoured out hole approx 10 feet deep. 
        • The next swims are in the trees, pegs 20 -25. Stick and waggler again down the inside and mid river, opposite these swims on the far bank are beds of whips and lily pads home to all species including bream and carp.
        • Peg 25 is just out of these trees and at the upstream end of a weir, this is a noted chub swim fishing to the weir and also the inside line of this swim is well known to hold big perch. From here we go under the town side arch to the downstream weir and back channel, interesting little swims that have produced big chub.

        Watersmeet

        We've been informed by the owner of Watersmeet that both cattle and sheep are going to be moved onto the meadow. Whilst we'll still be able to fish the meadow, angler's access is on foot only, with no vehicles allowed and obviously this includes dogs.

        Whenever this situation changes we'll keep you informed.

        • Access to this stretch is via the double ‘coral type’ gates at the end of Baileys Meadow. There are lots of pegs on this stretch but as yet many of these are not defined.
        • You can drive to the swims but you must follow the river bank when traversing the fields . Do not drive across the fields, Keep to the bank.
        • Some of the swims are easy to access and can produce good nets of fish.
        • The noted Pipe bridge peg is famous for the large chub that it holds and if you know where the swim is you can have 30 lb+ on most occasions.
        • Some swims  have high banks and care is needed
        • On the opposite side of the island we have a short stretch known as sinii , this is a slower water and can produce Barbel chub roach and bream
        • Target species:---Chub, Roach, Barbel, Pike, Carp, Bream.
        • Should you fancy some almost untouched fishing then this is the place to explore and fish in countryside which belies its proximity to an urban conurbation. Kingfishers, Herons, Buzzards, Green Woodpeckers even Oyster Catches will share this countryside haven with whilst you fish.
        • NOTE

          It may be necessary to close this water for short periods during the season when the farmer has Bulls in

          the field this is done for health and safety reasons and during this period fishing is not allowed.

          Notices will be posted on the Baileys gates when this occurs

        Silver Way

        • The Silver way is a cutting from the main river excavated by the Brewery to provide ease of transportation when the river was navigable in bygone times.
        • The access is the same as for Andressey, from the car parks behind Burton library.
        • There are no defined pegs on this cutting. 
        • Target Species:--- Bream, Roach, Carp, Pike, Tench.
        • Starting at the mouth where it meets the main river opposite Broadholme Island, this is known as bream corner. It can be fished from either side but probably the best is from the trees on the swimming pool bank. 
        • Pads to the left and right give way to deep water of approx 10 feet deep right in front. 
        • From here to the footbridge and beyond, very shallow water with lots of lily pads is the order of the day. 
        • Above the Abbey are some deeper swims on the opposite bank. A bit of a stalking water really not the usual match type water at all. 
        • Specimen anglers may find it interesting though. In years to come when other more important work has been done, this neglected piece of Coors water may receive some attention.
        • NOTE fishing is not allowed in the Cherry Orchard opposite the garden of remembrance.

          for reasons of Respect

        Baileys Meadow

        • This section is accessible from the Meadow side road off the Burton Bridge
        • As you drive off the tarmac road onto the rough track the access gate is on the right hand side. The gate is combination locked for members use only
        • Please not just before the entrance gate we have a new platform peg and to save renumbering all Baileys pegs, we've called this new peg zero.
        • Driving through the gate (please close, lock and scramble the numbers) there are 25 swims which may change due to seasonal weed growth and there are  18 purpose built fishing platforms where you can park your car behind each one for a very easy days fishing!
        • Target species for these platforms:--- Roach, Perch, Chub, Silver Bream, Pike 
        • Noted swims are peg 1, approximate depth 6foot, probably fished the most often because of its close proximity to the gate, fish the middle of the river. 
        • Peg 3, fish middle to far side along the far bank tree line for bonus bream and tench in the summer. 
        • Pegs 12, 13, 14  are fringed with lilies in the summer and hold most species in the river, this is the area for the increasingly rare Silver Bream recognisable for the pink tinge to their fins. 
        • Pegs 15 to 18  are reed fringed but deeper down the middle approx’ 9 foot and are the most consistent when contests are held often providing section wins and sometimes contest wins. 
        • The platforms finish at the start of the spinney which is now private property. 
        • Below the weir there is an islands with 2 swims, these are only accessible by the new Bridge. These swims suffer the ravages of flooding.
        • There are now comfortable platforms to fish from on this island . The weir pools offer very interesting fishing!
        • The last pegs, are again ones to park behind. They are mainly fast shallow chub and barbel swims. Though 23 does have a large back swim opposite, home to big chub and perch who feed on the bleak carrying extra water this back swim is as good a bet as any.

        Please note that seasonal weed growth may restrict the number of

        fishable peg on this section

        Drennan Coors Masters Round 1 – 26th June

        The weather gods, as they usually do for the start of the river season, got angry for this one, sending us a storm more reminiscent of late October than June! It was the usual tough first match, made even harder by the horrible wind, bright sunshine and very low clear river.

        Stuart Raynor finished top with 9-8. He was at the bottom end of Baileys above the weir, and caught mainly perch initially on pole, switching to waggler later. Great weight from this area. Second placed Sam Wildsmith somehow fished pole at 13m on a very windy bottom end of Sherratts. Superb performance finishing just short of Stu with 9-7 of small dace. Ian Shaw was third, managing 7-4 of mainly small dace from the peg below Sam, on whip and then waggler later. The next two weights were from below the weir on Baileys. Alan Round with 6-13 and Dave Shakespeare with 6-10.

         

        Qualifiers – Tony Marshall, Sam Wildsmith, Dennis Armstrong, Andy Starkey, Dave Harrell, Stu Raynor, Alan Round, Ian Winter

        Drennan Coors Masters Round 2 – 3rd July

        With a bit of fresh water and a better day weather wise the river started to show signs of improvement for this one. Lowest 5 peg section winning weight was 5-8, and just a few roach starting to show which is a good sign. Nigel Bull drew the bottom end of Sherratts, an area with a few fish showing last week, and took full advantage with a superb 12-2 of small dace and roach. All on pole and maggots over groundbait. Second was Matt Hall from the top end of Baileys with 8-14. Also small dace and roach, all on stick float. Sam Wildsmith was third from below weir on Baileys, small fish again on pole totalling 8-0. Last in the prizes was John Harper with 7-8 from above the weir on Baileys. John caught mainly on pole and whip.

         

        Qualifiers – Tony Barker, Nigel Bull, Mark Halksworth, Matt Hall, John Harper, Steve Winter, Brian Rigby, Dave Petch
