The Swadlincote & District Angling Association will hold its annual paying-in night on 3 June 2026 to help local anglers renew their memberships and prepare for the upcoming season. The event takes place from 19:00 to 20:30 at The Railway Inn, located at 31 Ashby Road, Moira, Swadlincote DE12 6DJ.
This gathering allows members to renew their subscriptions in person, collect lake keys, and socialise before fishing begins. The association, an 80-year-old institution founded in 1946 and based in South Derbyshire, currently manages three lakes and two stretches of the River Trent for its members.
Membership fees for the 2025-2026 season are £55 for adults and £35 for seniors, while junior membership remains free. New members will need to pay an additional £10 fee for a lake key. For those unable to attend the event in person, payments can be made by cheque via post to PO Box 8567, Burton on Trent, DE14 9PL (please add £2.00 for postage), or by requesting a debit card payment link by texting 07840515207. Please note that a £1.50 charge applies to all debit card transactions to cover processing costs.
The local area offers a variety of fishing opportunities, including the nearby Moira Canal. This landlocked section of the former Ashby Canal provides over two miles of water and is widely considered one of the best spots for silverfish in the Midlands. Additional fishing options are also available at the Moira Furnace Museum & Country Park, which provides both day and yearly ticket options – day tickets cost £6 for adults, £5 for seniors, and £3 for children, while yearly tickets are £60 for adults, £50 for seniors, and £30 for children.
