3 Reasons to Try a Fishing Holiday in Derbyshire

Fishing is well known to be a relaxing and fun way to spend a short break and there’s no better place to find peace, tranquillity and plenty of fish than in the Derbyshire Peak District. Below are three reasons to spend a holiday fishing in Derbyshire.

One of the best places for fishing in Derbyshire is the River Dove and the Izaak Walton Hotel has exclusive fishing rights to a large section of this river. Guests at the Izaak Walton Hotel can enjoy the solitude and beauty that this stretch of river offers and visitors to the area can also fish here too, just enquire at the Hotel for more information. Novices can learn the basics from local fly fisherman John Tyzack. The Hotel itself is named after one of the world’s most famous fly fishermen Izaak Walton.

If your idea of a good time is to be calm and exercise patience and quiet then a fishing break in Derbyshire is exactly the right holiday for you. Trout fishing requires solitude and tranquillity and to many people it is a form of meditation but the bonus is that you can also achieve a real sense of achievement and pride when you catch a trout.

Often holidays come with a jam-packed itinerary of things to see and do so you can end up missing out on actually taking a moment to really experience the beauty of an area. Trout fishing in Derbyshire gives you the ultimate opportunity to experience the stunning natural landscape and wildlife of this region. Take a flask, some sandwiches and your favourite book alongside your fishing gear and enjoy the genuine relaxation that looking at nature’s beauty can bring.
